I've met some pretty amazing people on the knit-o-sphere - found friends, mentors, both together in some cases and one of the most remarkable of these is MamaCate. Talking to her for 10 minutes at a fiber festival is finding the still place, where things slow down and become real and solid and thoughtful instead of wild and chaotic and overwhelming.
She is a knockout - generous, thoughtful and really lovely and provided the opportunity for me to buy my second wheel and my first fleece and sent me the kindest and most appreciated box of chocolates ever in the history of friends. She is Good. And today is her birthday.
So, pretty please, help me crash her server with good wishes, OK?






Takes one to know one.

The first time I met Cate, she insisted that Kell and I crash at her house and gave us her room, regardless of how much we protested. She's the BEST kind of people.
And you are, too.

::nodding head in agreement:: Amen! She's a gem and I'm so glad I got the chance to meet her in person!

I missed her at Rhinebeck, I'm still sad about that. She's great. You're great too.

Oh my gosh. Thank you sweetie. I couldn't wish for a kinder tribute, or a better birthday present.
XOXOXO. Thanks.

Will do. She was the first person to teach me how to spin!

I deeply love to blame Cate for the good things in my life :-)

I didn't wait for a request. I love me some Cate.

Well, I posted, at your request. I hope her server is well and truly crashed by the end of the day. :)
