My Kaffe Fassett Coat

This is me an almost 62 yo Grandmama
Taken 02 Sept 09

Here are more pictures. including my Kaffe Fassett coat which I made in 1987. Believe it or not it took me six weeks to knit the coat itself. I then out it up from May to October and finished the facings. I was able to wear it that entire winter in Chicago with just a jacket under it. I also met Kaffe that next year and he signed the book from which I got the pattern. He was in Williamsburg this month, October 2007 and he remember the coat and then signed all of my other books by him. I purchased another book by Brandon Mably of the Kaffe Fassett workshop who was traveling with Kaffe Fassett this month on the USA tour.

The book the pattern came from.

The "Man's" Signature from 1987 or 1988.

Some of my receipts. The coat cost about $400. Someone wanted me to knit them one, but was shocked at how much the yarn cost.

Thank you for reading,

More later. Maybe I will finish the shrug this week.
