God's a rotten knitter in that case.

Its the eternal motion of the earth or possibly God moving in mysterious ways.

In Three Men In A Boat, Jerome K Jerome said that tow-ropes all have an ambition to become crochet-work... must be the same phenomenon.

The same thing used to happen with my box of paper clips when I worked. Overnight, they would become one tangled mass.

Or computer cables even though they are attached at both ends they still tangle. grin

They have been threaded with telephone cable. No logic whatsoever to untwining phone cable.

Ah-ha! It's mystic! They gyre and gamble in the wabe, of course!

I collect costume jewellery from charity shops and have a number of plastic boxes full of them.

What surprises me is that I place a new necklace or pendant in one of the boxes and when I come to take them out they are all intertwined with the other jewellery. This happens regularly and I just don't know how it happens. hmm
