Knife tool not working as expected

Hi - the knife tool isn’t (at 1:08) isn’t snapping to the first vertex at the bottom left, and when I try to cut all the way around nothing happens.  Any idea what this could be?

    Hmm, try to do it while viewing at an angle, so you can target that vertex a little better and make sure it's not accidentally grabbing the wrong one, and then you can align things afterwards with snapping. Also check the status bar while in the tool to make sure that midpoint snap and ignore snap are both off.

    Turns out it was 100% user error (because isn’t it always?).  Somehow I had deleted the bottom plane, which I couldn’t really see in wireframe mode.  The knife tool has a little difficulty when there are no planes to cut!
