Tom Daley: British Olympic diver on hosting knitting-based competition series

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Knitting is seeing a resurgence, largely thanks to five-time Olympic diver Tom Daley going viral for knitting in the stands between events. After the Tokyo Olympics wrapped up, Tom now owns a knitting brand and has even been known to knit creations for celebrities - and he's now hosting Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitter. He says he taught himself to knit, and it eventually became his 'superpower.' "It became my mindfulness, it became my mediation, and it became my way of switching off from the world around me, and taught me to slow down and be present, be in the moment."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
