Glorious colour knitting and needlepoint. Kaffe Fassett. 1988.

Glorious Colour is about inspiration: the inspiration that one gifted artist has found in a great museum - the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Kaffe Fassett has long been inspired by the V & A and works closely from its classic collections in such a way that many knitters and stitchers will be tempted to follow suit. His creative response to these objects is especially evident in the 17 new designs - 13 in knitting and 4 in needlepoint - featured in this book, complete with instructions and charts. As always, Kaffe encourages everyone who follows patterns to have a go at their own designs, often with stunning results, and in Glorious Colour, he provides guidelines for those would-be designers finding their creative feet.
