Fiber-Related Messages

When attending fiber-related conventiona - whether for wool growers, spinners, knitters, crocheters, needlework, quilting, felting, rug hooking – we generally find vendors selling lapel pins with an array of funny (to us, at least), messages on them.  I’ve started collecting the sayings.   If you have one to add, e-mail it to me at sweatyknitter.com and I’ll ad it to the list!

In alphabetical order:

Crocheters do it on the couch.
Crocheters do it with chains.
Feel safe at night; sleep with a knitter.
Fiber artists use fuzzy logic.
Handspinners are twisted.
Happy hooker.
I’m a knotty hooker.
I’m a thread head.
I knit so you can live.
I will dye laughing.
Knit happens.
Knitters do it on the couch.
No knitting, all bitching!
Not all magic wands are pointy little sticks.
Old knitters never die.  They just come unraveled.
S.A.B.L.E:  Stash Amassed Beyond Life Expectancy.
Spinners do it with a twist.
Spinning:  Because knitting is not weird enough.
Tailgate at your own risk: I’m knitting.
Walk softly a carry a big hook.
Yarn ho.
You’re going to die anyway, so you might as well knit.

By the way, my all time favorite lapel pin reads:  “I don’t have hot flashes; they’re power surges.”  :)
