It means stick with what you know... don't be giving advice and opinions outside your realm of knowledge or ability. I don't know who said it.

I believe it means to stick to know what you know how to do. I have heard people say it to each other over the years in jest. It might apply to real estate when agents try to sell out of their geographical area or out of their area of expertise.

I have no clue who said it but my grandmother use to say in the context of don't be giving advice on something you don't know anything about or even a little about. In other words don't be a know it all!

America is known for slang. It gets comical when someone tries to make a slang point in another language. It doesn't carry over. Knitting?

I remember my grandmother saying this when I was a child. It was supposed to be more diplomatic than saying "Mind your own business". Never thought about relating it to RE though.

Of course, I have no idea what to do with knitting needles! But for everyone else, it means stick to what you know!

I thought it meant MYOB... but others say it means stick to what you know.

I heard my grandmother say this. It means don't try to pretend you know something out of you area of expertise or get in someone else's business.

No clue. I never been able to knit, so there is no way I would ever stick to it.

It means to stick with what you know. And yes, the Hollywood 'elite' should stick to acting. And for those that promised to move to Canada, we should go list their houses to make sure they keep their word:) hehehe

It means stick to what you know, in real estate maybe stay within you area of knowledge or expertise!

Don't know it's origin but did find this via Google in an 1828 version of an English & Welsh Dictionary, volume II where the phrase Mind your own knitting is defined as Mind your own business. With regard to real estate I believe that definition is self-explanatory.

Stick to what you know how to do best? Trying to do so many things in the same time is not beneficial for your business, being able to delegate to those you trust is.

Stick to what you know. Don't be a blow hard and give advice on matters you know nothing about. Don't know who said it.
Not sure what Hollywood and lessons has to do with it.

Google does not scan every book but it does go back to late 1800s.
The earliest Google Books match is from A.I. Root, "Myself and My Neighbors," in Gleanings in Bee Culture (December 1, 1890).....

Stick to what you know, but I have no clue who might have said it. So in real estate you should stick to the type of real estate (e.g., residential but not commercial) or in areas you are familiar with

Michael J. Perry I would guess it means stick to what you know best and stay out of areas you know nothing about. Don't know who said it. As a commercial real estate broker, read Article 11 of the NAR COE's.

I would say it means to stick to what you know. As far as those over paid Hollywood type and singer, they are so far from reality they should have heeded the warning. It would be nice if they felt the boycotts of their music shows and merchandise.

Have heard the expression and took it as meaning stick to what you know!

I've never heard this expression but I had the same thought as Raymond E. Camp as to the meaning.
