I get knots in all types of yarn, expensive or not. If I get more than one per ball (or per 110 or so yards), I get miffed. Which is why I shouldn't use the Noro yarns, ha ha. They're famous for...

I find it helpful to put point protectors on the ends of the circular needles as I'm knitting off them onto the dpns. It keeps the stitches from falling off the circulars. :doh: I just finished my...
