Status Updates From Knitting For Dummies

"Gauge also can vary with the time of day you’re knitting, how long you’ve been knitting at a stretch, and what you’re thinking about. The tension you put on the yarn traveling around the needle contributes to stitch size, so being tired or tense can affect the flow of your yarn and stitch size." How interesting.

"Lightly twisted plied and single-ply yarns are closer to their roving (unspun) state and, though sturdy enough when knitted up, can pull apart into strands if they’re over-handled. They also can be slightly uneven, have more loft and softness, and be warmer than their twisted sisters." Love this passage. Like when you get the reference.
