Description

Kaffe Fassett Glorious Colour Needlepoint & Knitting

“Fassett has firmly established himself as the single most exciting craft-and-color expert today.”–Booklist.

For knitting and needlepoint that explode with a riot of color and pattern, nothing beats these brilliant projects. But, this is more than a simple collection of eye-grabbing costumes and tapestries to make–it’s a lesson in style by a truly original and fearless designer who doesn’t hesitate to go gloriously over the top. And, that makes these brilliant photographs of objects that inspired his work–which range from small Oriental sculptures to London’s stone walls–almost as much fun to look at as the projects are to do. Compare luminous blue-and-green Persian pots with a similarly shaded blue patch crewneck–and then knit the sweater yourself, either using the given colors or choosing other, equally rich tones that suit your own wardrobe.
