A minor stress of yarncrafts which I don't see discussed much:
There is a small tangle in your yarn. Topologically you know it must be a slipknot; if you give it a good firm tug, it should come undone.
Just how much force are you willing to stake on that?
Every time I encounter a small tangle now, I say to myself, "Topologically you know it must be a slipknot."
