At first glance, this looks like Kaffee Fassett lite -- lots of intarsia, but not as many colours as KF. A closer look -- and WOW, this is some amazing intarsia, with brilliant use of specialty stitches for texture. You don't need four dozen colours when ten combine this brilliantly. There are a number of sweaters, jackets, and blankets that I would cast on tonight if I could only afford the wool. Perhaps I could make a cushion, or one of her hats!

But in the end, I can't afford the wool. Her effects, even for the cushion, depend heavily upon combining really outstanding yarns: tweed, silken tweed, cotton chenille, some discontinued. You can get kits for some of these designs online and, although they seem to be lacking the chenille and texture effects, and the prices range around $200, that's reasonable for-what-it-is, you do get all the colours, and this might be the way to go for those who can afford it.
