This knitting kit will not only leave you with a playful toy, but it will also give you some practice in the craft and, potentially, allow you to gain some meditative time. The kit, which is part of an extensive line of knitwear, is offered by Tom Daley who during lockdown "said that he'd taken to knitting to help with mindfulness." The collection is playfully titled 'Made with Love by Tom Daley."
The flamingo knitting kit is titled 'Elvis.' It contains 300g of The Chunky One yarn that the buyer can choose the color of, three 100g of The Chunky One yarns in Robbie Red, Aqua Blue, and Limoncello, as well as 200g of The Chunky One yarn in Tokyo Blue. Other things include 200g polyester toy stuffing, 7mm x 35cm knitting needles, a Darning needle, and a pattern.
