Sneak peek at No Chintz projects

Here’s a little peek at some of the projects I’ll be making for the first three No Chintz workshops. Above is my beloved pompom-adorned tea cosy, inspired by Loani Price of Wild Tea Cosies fame, but with no knitting involved (because I still haven’t figured out how to do a purl stitch without ending up all twisted up like a pretzel – true story). And a flower embellished egg cosy, just in time for Easter (it’ll be here before we know it).

These are a cinch to make and so fun, too – the felt means they’re also very forgiving when you want to multi-task, completing them while drinking a large glass of red wine, say (as I was when putting these together last Saturday night*).

And below, some simple oven mitts and the apron I’m making tomorrow for the private class – all these are made by hand and can be completed within 1.5-2hrs max.

*If making a tea cosy on a Saturday night is the very definition of old age, then I may just be 93.
