> I have seen a number of wall clocks that feature the Latin expression Tempus Fugit or "time flies" and so I decided to name my project Tempus Nectit or the closest approximation I could find for "time knits."
Another option would have been "tempus texit".

(It's true that "nectit" is a direct cognate with English "knit" and is probably also a plausible choice. It could also be interpreted as "time ties", which has a nice unintended rhyme in English with the traditional expression!)
