Kaffe Fasset is one of the premiere knitters in the world, known by millions of knitters who cherish his intricate designs, unique color palette, and bold graphic aesthetic.

M. Forester.

i love kaffe fasset designs....enough that i might learn to knit just to realize one of them. I have his Quilt Road and Quilt Caravan books and they are fantastic. He always picks the best locations...the interior shots of the Mercer Mansion in Doylestown, PA are such sympathetic backgrounds.

So now Kaffe has gone to Charleston for his latest book...another home rife with riots of color and ornamentation. Like I said, I gotta learn to knit!
