  The most spectacular piece of knitting that grabbed me 40 yrs ago, was of a part time medical orderly who used every spare minute to create sweaters for clients.  The client was a resident doctor at this hospital. He drew her face then replicated it on her pullover beautifully. A couple of years later he qualified as a doctor.

  Kaffe&apos;s artistry is balm for my eyes ! I&apos;d like to see Kaffe&apos;s color quest.

  I&apos;ve been in love with Kaffe&apos;s magnificent colors &amp; patterns since late 70s or early 80s. I had his first knitting book. Think it was called GLORIOUS KNITS. I just went mad with adoration. Then the quilts began. I&apos;ve always had an obsession for fine patterning &amp; color. I&apos;m so thrilled this beautiful elegant gifted lover of beauty is still sharing. I just love him. A treasure beyond measure.

  pattern and colour and texture are my passions. I have explored these in knitting, sewing, fabric surface design, embroidery....... and more recently in mixed media work. Can&apos;t get enough of it.

  I love this gentleman. I always wondered how much we owe the Beatles for the Kaffe we see today? &nbsp;In 1964 everyone wanted to go to England. I love that he can articulate what makes him tick. &nbsp;I love the crock with all his needles in it.

  To me knitting is a beautiful art and to top it off you can knit things are useful. Whoever thought that with two sticks and a ball of string you can create such beautiful and complex designs! Wow!

  I also just love England. I must have lived there during the Victorian ear in a former life. I’m deep into the needlework crafts of that era... knitting, tatting, etc. Love this man’s creativity!
