Knitting a scarf and the yarn kept tying itself in knots

Sat down to knit a scarf for my kid, a basic striped one. The yarn ball suddenly rolled off the couch and the strand got all tangled up on its own. This happened like three times in a row, no joke. Maybe it's just me, but it felt like the yarn was playing tricks.

A nearby farmer asked if we could schedule turbine maintenance around his cow's milking time because the noise spooks them.
