Such a perfect craft to make for a classmate or friend!  After featuring the beautiful friendship bracelet designs from the Purl Bee earlier this week, we were inspired to find some more ideas.  Here are some great video tutorials on making heart designs in friendship bracelets.

You can also find some great tutorials on these and other friendship bracelet designs at friendship-bracelets.net.

A 2011 interview with Kaffe Fassett, discussing how he designs and how he inspires others to create and express their inner color, filmed at his London studio for Ehrman Tapestry.  You can find Kaffe’s latest needlepoint designs at www.ehrmantapestry.com

  Kaffe Fassett was our Living Crafts sage in the Spring 2010 issue.  He is a master of color, and one of our favorite designers.  He’s teaching right now at Vogue Knitting Live in New York, and don’t we wish we could be there!  For those of us that aren’t, we’ll enjoy this video inspiration, instead!

There is also another wonderful video interview of Kaffe at his own website.   Be sure to watch it!

If you have made one of his designs, or have taken any of his workshops, please do leave a comment or a link to share.  Thank you!
