Brava Kathryn! Sharing our stories always helps others!

It is always interesting to see Tom Daly of the British Olympic diving team using yarn crafting (I don’t know if he knits or crochet, but I think he knits) as part of his stress reduction during competitions!

Tom retired from diving but came back because his son, Robbie, told him that he wanted to see his Dad diving. I have verified that it is knitting.

Yes Tom Daley has been a wonderful example of this, especially since it isn’t as common to see men knitting in public.

Reading others stories helped me. Late to discover the benefit in either print or social media through some weird sense of identifying myself - says a lot about how I percieve the stigma around these topics.
