This week, the indefatigable, multi-skilled Kaffe Fassett (b.1937) who revolutionised the dull, grey world - as it appeared to him, a displaced Californian - of British knitting, quilting and stitching with his passion for colour and pattern, his inspirational books, and his advice to just pick up your needles and get going. There is an exhibition of his work at the Fashion + Textile Museum at the moment, but his signature explosions of colourful textiles are not confined to galleries: above is Kaffe in his home studio.
