			It'd sure be nice of the developers to have warned me that before abandoning my craft it was going to delete my items. New to crafting. But these little details seem so absent from this game. Sub cancellation almost seems unavoidable.

There are no items that get deleted.  You forget how to make stuff, or you can no longer use the tool to harvest materials (depending on what tradeskill you stopped learning).
 
You can switch back, and your recipe knowledge will return after you log out to character select and back in.
 
Threatening a cancellation because you don't understand something is, well...

Are you referring to the crafting materials prepped when you cancel a schematic already started?
 
Yes, it does warn you.

When I started crafting I figured abandon meant item loss, so I continued the craft!

Hey guys no need to be rude towards the OP, lets lead by example. :) 
 
OP, as you can see posted above, there is a warning when you abandon your craft. Could you perhaps have an addon or other function that prevented you from seeing it pop up?

			The message doesn't show up till you try to make something else does it? I seem to recall something like that. I know I've gone out of a craft and then back in without any problems and no missing items.

			 If it didnt destroy your initial mats it would defeat the purpose of having the random stat roll...

OP,
 
As noted, if you close the Crafting interface window while you're in the middle of crafting something, and then open it back up, you will get the message Tenner shows a screenshot of, unless, as Chillia notes, you are using an addon that supresses that. 
 
I find that the best thing to do is to continue the craft so that you will at least get the base crafted item, rather than losing all of your materials when you abandon.
