Open shop Project in Burnley: Knitted teacozies.
For couple of weekends I have gone to Burnley to knit with Artyarn. In open shop project, various artists are doing workshops in Lancashire area including Burnley. Artyarn has curated a community art project the "Knitted Teacozies" for Towneley Hall. Recession has left many retail outlet spaces empty and Art's council has funded different projects to take place in these spaces.

I found it so relaxing to just knit something small, a bit domestic and quirky for a change. I decided to knit a strawberry teacosy. I made the pattern up as I was going along, but would be good to do it again and write down the instructions. All the tea cozies are fun and innovative and are going to be exhibited in Townley Hall 17th of June.
