I was knitting these:

WHAAAT???

Tom has been knitting (and crocheting) for about a year and a half. I’ve been knitting, off and on for 50+ years (crocheting for a bit less). Tom is a world-class athlete who spends his days training, parenting (and husbanding), cooking for his family, writing books, and creating and editing content for his very popular YouTube channel. Not to mention tending to plants and fish (and frogs?). When does he have time to knit?

How does he do all that when I can’t even get my dishes washed every day? Oh yeah. He’s well-disciplined and driven. At least he’s motivated me to pick up my knitting needles and crochet hooks again.

So, thanks, Tom! 💜
