Tom Daley loves it and we do too - 9 retro South Tyneside knitting scenes which are sew good
Britain’s Olympic hero was pictured knitting as he watched one of the other diving finals in Tokyo.
It gives us a chance to cast our minds back to these Shields Gazette archive photos, all with a knitting theme.
We have reminders from Talbot Road Methodist Church where locals went on ‘safari’ and the Cleadon Park Library Knit and Knatter group members.
There are plenty of keen knitters closer to home and we hope you are in one of these retro pictures.
Take a look and let’s see if we can create a pattern of great responses.
