I was told that traditionally there were no knots on the tally. HoweverI

That's a given!! But I've found that with a fine pin and patience, I've
been able to take out even a full knot. Still... a half-hitch works
nearly as well, and is easier to take out.
I also find that if I don't do *something*, even if I'm very careful,

Good idea. For medium to large threads, I use the long yellow-headed quilting
pins as temporary markers.The yellow tops glare at me until I remove them.
