Counterculture design legend Kaffe Fassett: 'I'm that bizarre beast - a man who does textiles'
The designer, Kaffe Fassett, is still knitting at 84, and his eclectic home and studio reflect his love of pattern and bright colour.
It took the knitter and textile designer Kaffe Fassett two goes at buying his four-floor Victorian home in north London. In 1971, he got one floor with a £400 deposit but had to wait 20 years before buying the rest.
Within the niche world of textiles and knitting, 84-year-old Kaffe Fassett is both king and maverick, upending the idea that craft is a housewife’s hobby. Growing up in Big Sur, California during the 1940s and 50s, Fassett moved to Boston to paint, working his way through New York's artistic circles before ending up in London, via Bath, in the late 1960s.
Artist Frank Havrah "Kaffe" Fassett, has dedicated the last 50 years of his life to the world of Knitting, Needlepoint and Patchwork, promoting these crafts through his own work and encouraging others to find their own creativity. He is having a retrospective exhibition at the Fashion Textile museum in London.

Bayeux Tapestry being recreated by primary school teacher - who will even weave in original errors. Mia Hansson is recreating a full-scale replica tapestry, which will have taken ten years to stitch by the time it is completed
Bayeux Tapestry being recreated by primary school teacher. It is one of the most famous depictions of a key chapter in British history - telling the story of how the Normans came to vanquish King Harold and his men at the battle of Hastings. Now an artist and primary school teacher is recreating a full-scale replica of the Bayeux Tapestry stitch by painstaking stitch - including all its original flaws and mistakes.
Whereas the original 70-metre long tapestry was produced by teams of skilled embroiderers Mia Hansson has only herself to rely on. Which explains why she has not only been working on the project for the past five years, but expects to be at it for another five. “I was searching for something that I can’t finish in a hurry”. Ms Hansson, originally from Sweden and now living in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, is drawing all the shapes and figures by freehand, using a measuring tape and calculator to scale up from photographs of the tapestry.© Jason Bye / eyevine

Bayeux Tapestry being recreated by primary school teacher. It is one of the most famous depictions of a key chapter in British history - telling the story of how the Normans came to vanquish King Harold and his men at the battle of Hastings. Now an artist and primary school teacher is recreating a full-scale replica of the Bayeux Tapestry stitch by painstaking stitch - including all its original flaws and mistakes.
Whereas the original 70-metre long tapestry was produced by teams of skilled embroiderers Mia Hansson has only herself to rely on. Which explains why she has not only been working on the project for the past five years, but expects to be at it for another five. “I was searching for something that I can’t finish in a hurry”. Ms Hansson, originally from Sweden and now living in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, is drawing all the shapes and figures by freehand, using a measuring tape and calculator to scale up from photographs of the tapestry.© Jason Bye / eyevine
