Anyone else not “get” Yom Daley’s knitting?

[CreamEggsForever]

Now, I can barely knit a stitch so he is way better than me, much more talented and creative.

But I’ve just seen a reel where he showed jumpers he knitted for his sons’ school photo - they looked baggy and saggy and not appealing at all to me.

Sorry Tom, but am I the philistine here? Entirely possible, as my fashion sense is worse than my knitting!

Just when you think the BBC have already hit rock bottom....

No, definitely viperish. And a hint of wine breath. 😆

I haven't seen his knitting, so can't comment on that. No one on MN will argue with you because he's a gay man who used a surrogate.

😆

Not on a school night.

My post stands - just facts.

God job it doesn’t matter if you get it or not then eh?

I've found my people,can't stand him!

I am sure he may be a lovely person - my only comment was on the knitting, which is amateurish and I don’t get why it earned him a tv show

Same here. I don't actually know or care much about him, I don't watch (can't stand) any kind of sport so he's not on my radar.
It's his knitting that I don't like and how it's supposed to be so good.

I refuse to watch anything with him in it, sanctimonious prick.

Yeah his knitting isn't great.

I absolutely cannot bear him and his tedious, performative life.

He wasn’t “very young”. He was 28 when they married and he’s 38 now. If he was a woman, nobody would infantilise him in the same way.

I am astounded by the comments here. He has a style of knitting that is not fine everyone. It is big and baggy however as the owner of a wool shop I am also delighted by the number of young people who have come to workshops to learn to knit and crochet because if him and who order hand made items in the same style. They don't want beautifully fitted 2 ply garments . I have many customers who do appreciate that style, so horses for courses. In relation to the show he was the presenter. He was not there for his expertise. I also struggle with the issue if his children, many couples not just gay couples use surrogates to have a family. Is it only the gay couples who get yelled at for "renting a womb". Those children appear to have a family who love them which is what we wish for all children surely. Don't like his knitting style fun don't wear it, no one is forcing you to.

I have no problem with him ~dons hard hat~

and I've forgotten how to strike through too 😬

Yup. Fecking men. Buying babies, and just being handed everything on a plate.

Mind you I don't understand the celebrity craze anyway. I'd much rather see somebody unknown but properly talented doing something well rather than z list celebrities doing it crapply.
