When you train for four years — in this case it was five because of the pandemic — you get one chance, six dives," he says, and the pressure to get it right in that single moment can get into a person's head. The patterns included were bold, but didn’t seem particularly practical or accessible for most crafters. It just makes me extremely proud to think that all the hard work and sacrifice that he put into my diving career is, I'd say, worth it. The kits are organised by level of difficulty from beginner to easy, intermediate and advanced, and include yarn made from merino wool that comes from non-mulesed sheep.
Although it was me and Matty up on the podium, there are a lot of people behind that medal, and just everything came to that moment of pure elation at having done it after 20 years of training.

Olympic gold-medalist Tom Daley has not only made the headlines for his immaculate diving techniques lately, but is also making a splash for knitting in between dives. A passionate knitter, he’s since started his own knitting label, Made With Love, which launched with a 15 piece knitting kit collection. As the shoot wraps, Daley lugs his bag over his shoulder ready to spend another day doing, well, whatever he wants.Much of Daley’s anxiety was a result of being advised by some of his inner circle against coming out publicly. Looking back at the four Olympic games he's participated in, Daley says each one represents something different. His energetic-yet- chilled demeanour is infectious in person and during this pivotal year, he effuses the wisdom and clarity of someone who has really been able to take time for themselves and learn what they want.
Growing up in Plymouth with his mum, dad and two younger brothers, it was boredom with swimming that first got Daley into the sport. Every moment that I had to myself, I was able just to be able to switch off and get my knitting needles out. In his native England, Daley is beloved as a four-time Olympic medalist, well-known television personality, and activist in the LGBTQ space. Sometimes you can arrive at the Olympic Games and you can feel exhausted, whereas I know if I can arrive at the board feeling good and having the energy to dive well, I'll dive well.The father of one said: “There are loads of things I’m doing to keep myself going, like yoga and visualisation, but I’ve also taken up knitting, which could be my secret weapon. In 20 years’ time, I wanted to be able to look back and be like I made this during those Olympics games as a memento,” Daley says. DALEY: So I've been making all kinds of things, actually, and I'm trying to make, like, a little bit more out-there, editorial things. But some of my favorite ones in there are just some of the very basic scarves that are, you know, using mohair so that they look really - like, they feel and look, like, quite, like, expensive, but you've made it yourself, and you've done it. I wasn't so inclined; I like my knitting time to be relaxing so sticking with square patterns for scarves and blankets with fringe will continue.
And I - initially, I found it extremely difficult, like, just to be able to have the patience and the concentration. Honestly, I now look forward to traveling, or I look forward to moments where I can - like, I'm never bored.Summer 2021 saw Tom compete in the Tokyo Olympics where he won his first Olympic gold medal alongside his diving partner Matty Lee in the 10m synchro event. But at the same time, once you start getting the hang of it and picking it up, I think you'll be able to do both. During the opening ceremony, Daley was joined by a handful of fellow athletes to wave the pride flag in a historic moment.
