In an Instagram video on his page dedicated to his creations, Tom said that it's his love for knitting and crocheting that has gotten him through the pandemic.
“The one thing that has like kept me sane throughout this whole process is my love for knitting and crochet and all things stitching.
“So, I want to say thank you to all my followers on here for actually following along.”
