I have just wasted another Sunday morning on http:\/\/www.mentalfloss.com\/<\/a>. It\u2019s a great site if you like lots of semi- intellectual, semi-literary banter. It also has some of the most amazing T-Shirts that I have ever read! Slogans like:

The Pavlov T-shirt with the line \u2013 \u201cthat name rings a bell.\u201d Or from Sigmund Freud \u2013 \u201cThere egos again\u201d or the Gregor Mendel one that reads: \u201cGiving peas a chance since 1856\u201d

Of course I couldn\u2019t resist. I know that there are a number of great knitting T-shirts out there, such as, \u201cI knit, therefore I am\u201d\u2026..please add others.

So I started a list – please add and\\or edit at will!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To steek or not to steek that is the question?
Out, out damned knot!
As easy as ssk, sl 1, k 2 tog, psso, k 2 tog.
Come back Skein; come back!
Go confidently in the direction of your seams.
The future starts with a single stitch.
Blessed are the piece makers for they shall inherit the \u2026\u2026afghan?
Never confuse knitting with a finished garment.
To err is human, to knit divine.
I wear my art upon my sleeve.
Listen to your art. \u2026do I have to add click, click or would a picture do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am trying to cheer myself up after hastily trying to machine stitch and cut two steeks in a 20 min. window before dinner after an exhausting day and you\u2019ve got it. I positioned one of them about a shoulder width off the mark. Louise King of L. K. Yarns in Halifax suggested that I cut the sweater; felt it and turn it into a bag \u2013 What a great idea!!!

More knitting slogans please – I’m still depressed!!!
