The Art of Knitting and Color with Kaffe Fassett.
Knitwear designer Kaffe Fassett (the first name rhymes with "safe," the last name rhymes with "basset"). He's elevated needlework from a simple craft to an art form. Fassett started out as a painter, but while working in England he visited a Scottish wool mill, and was dazzled by the colors and textures he discovered there. He's since made tapestries, clothes, chairs, and other objects, and authored several books that have influenced textile designers. His latest book (co-authored with Zoe Hunt) is a collection of clothing patterns called "Family Album." (Interview by Marty Moss-Coane)
