It's sometimes easier to spot problems when you watch someone doing the thing.

Try using different methods of working the yarn around your left hand. I have a "standard" method, but some yarns need more or less tension to run smoothly through your fingers, so I adapt.

Different material for needles, different types of needles maybe. I find it easier to knit evenly on circulars. Play around with needle size as well.

Another thing is your "inner tension". It's easier to knit evenly when you're relaxed.

Could you ask another knitter in person?

I think it's confirmation bias.

A lot of relationships break up at some point. A lot of people knit or crochet or quilt (I've seen this as blanket curse, too). So of course sometimes this breakup will happen just after a big project has been finished and gifted.

Once you start asking around the internet some will have experienced it, some will have heard of a case where it happened ➡️ a new meme is created.

I've been known to do that ... Every once in a while. To keep track of stitch count and yarn used at each step.
