Product Description
Product Description
Kaffe's Classics is a collection of 24 sweaters and one afghan, all fun to knit in the author's trademark vibrant colors and rich patterns. The sweater shapes are basic without being boring, and unlikely to go out of fashion. Aimed at intermediate and advanced knitters, the book encourages readers to use their own variations on the designs.
About the Author
Kaffe Fassett is a name every quilter knows. His work has been commissioned by the British monarchy, American fashion designers, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Fassett partnered with Rowan to create the Kaffe Fassett Collection, which debuts new fabrics every fall. He has written numerous quilt best-sellers, including "Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in the Sun," "Passionate Patchwork," "Kaffe Fassett's Museum Quilts" and "Kaleidoscope of Quilts" (all published by The Taunton Press).

Beautiful Book, even if you don't knit,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Kaffes Classics (Paperback)
Finally this book is out in paper--it's about time. There are some really beautiful patterns in here, within the range of any knitter if you don't mind working with lots of colors. Some are from Glorious Knitting, and probably from his work with Rowan yarns. I love to just read this book. Many of the designs would work well with a well-organized yarn stash. See Sally Melville Styles for ideas on that.

A classic for your library,

Ce commentaire est de: Kaffes Classics (Paperback)
Kaffe's ideas still look timely despite their age. If you don't believe me that they are old look at the hair styles of the models and you get a good feel for the age of the designs. Kaffe teaches you that anything, and I mean absolutely anything, can serve as the inspiration for a great knit design. The basic techniques that he uses, and has perfected, are flawless for this sort of project. Only warning. Do not try to find the yarns he used. Many of them are out of production. You will have to find your own substitutes for them. Having used part of one of his design to make my own project, I found that it took some doing finding replacement yarns but it was well worth the effort. If you want to change the colors from the ones he uses but you are not sure how to go about it and make it all work, follow his solution. Find a great piece of art with colors that please you and make sure you match your yarn colors to the one's in the painting. Works every time!

Truly glorious knitting,
By Louis Rosema "Janice Rosema" - Published on Amazon.com
This is truly an inspirational book for knitters who love working with color. There are some breathtaking items contained in these pages and Kaffe Fassett's approach is at once awe inspiring and accessible. That is something few can achieve but he does it. I highly recommend this book. Janice Rosema
