CLICK HERE to see the Spindrift color range. Leo says that thieir pic of #187 is the "closest I've seen - [the yarn is actually] a bit lighter and brighter then what shows on my monitor."

If you look at the other colors you can get a sense of the heathering he was describing a few posts back. I'm sure he will keep telling us what's happening so we can do some virtual croceting along with him.

Perhaps those of you who want to make items for other hurting Catters can work away in parallel and tell us what you are working on, if not for whom.

Also did you see that Leo has another beautiful item in the Auction right now?


If you have never been with MMario while he's doing one of these, you might like to see what I see, till you get a chance to see it yourself: I have the lucky privilege of sometimes getting to see him start these or work on them, or a look at finished ones, when he comes down for the occasional overnight visit here at the farm. I dunno how it is when he's other places, but when he's here, his hands are never idle.... he stitches away while relaxedly carrying on long, involved conversations and somehow still keeps track of the pattern.... to see this big strong fella with the tiny threads slipping through his fingers, or flipping the piece around to start a row, or shaking a finished one out of the bag to show, and seeing how it lies as it loses its bundled, folded shape.... THAT is a life lesson for me..... the cohesion and integrity of a filet piece, tho it is made from tiny intersections and a lot of open air, and the softness (whatever the fiber).... all just flowing out of him in loveliness.

That's how people love you, Leo!
