The LoveCrafts Show episode 10: New to knitting with Tom Daley

This is an extra special episode of The LoveCrafts Show - we've officially brought you 10 episodes of crafty goodness and we wanted to celebrate in style. You might know him as an Olympic athlete, but Tom is a knitting newbie (swiftly becoming a pro!) and we invited him to come and chat with us about his new found love for yarn crafts!

Tips, tricks, advice and a fair amount of silliness, this is The LoveCrafts Show!

Don’t forget to send us lots of lovely messages, responses and questions to show@lovecrafts.com or you can send us a voice message!

Lots of lovely things we mentioned and extra nuggets!
