Kaffe Fassett on the Radio
I was just listening to Kaffe Fassett on Radio 4’s Midweek, talking about colour, fabric, yarn and his exhibition, and how the British climate is perfect for staying indoors and getting on with your craft.
The first piece of fabric I bought for myself, for my first ever project with my new sewing machine (a cushion cover) was a Kaffe Fassett, and I have such a clear memory of it even though it was long worn out by our various elbows, heads and bums. Amazing how colour can imprint itself like that.
If you want to listen again, or subscribe to the programme’s podcast, you can do it from Midweek’s homepage. Although I think midweek is always interesting, you might not, so you can find Kaffe at the end of the show, about 30 minutes in.
I missed it this week and have just clicked to listen! I love Kaffe’s work, I think my first book was on knitting twenty years ago! Oh I feel so old now!

One of my missions in life is to try and make Ian see why Radio 4 is quite so wonderful (I have so far failed)..but actually we both enjoyed your link, as hearing about Peter (I think that was his name…it was a couple of nights ago now) and his mad boating expeditions, that preceeded the Kaffe bit, was exactly the kind of thing Ian loves reading about – there couldn’t have been a more perfect subject matter to actually tempt him into listening! Horay! x
