I have made the Kilim jacket from Kaffe's Classics, and it is beautiful, but when can I ever wear a garment knitted in the equivalent of 14ply weight yarn in (relatively) balmy Sydney? I keep it for winter trips to Canberra, so I wear it abut twice every three years! As you know, I'm also planning to make a vest using his Persian Poppies technique soon. But of course I will be only able to try and approach his use of colour - the Kilim jacket was really a paint by numbers exercise using his choice of yarns.M-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409916623998907121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-88221655994053205682009-06-25T10:27:26.086+10:002009-06-25T10:27:26.086+10:00excellent quote and excellent choice of yarn there...excellent quote and excellent choice of yarn there, i love the way he combines things that wouldnt normally be seen together.DrKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758129985662532518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-86416956628769112202009-06-25T00:40:58.877+10:002009-06-25T00:40:58.877+10:00I'm with you guys in the KF fan club.

Just crammed with photos of art and inspiration, all stunningly colourful. Makes me want to play colours all day long.m1k1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03570673562478827426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-60886221660093214662009-06-24T23:55:18.608+10:002009-06-24T23:55:18.608+10:00I have been a Kaffe Fassett fan forever!

IT has 60+ different balls of yarn in it! I think it passes the colour test [subtly]! LOL<br /><br />And yes, to knit the way he does one would have to buy as much yarn as one could whenever one could!<br /><br />PS I have always called mine a "collection"!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-29187006000308245122009-06-24T21:34:05.487+10:002009-06-24T21:34:05.487+10:00heh, thanks for the last quote!!
