Good resource.
I've found that it's easy to forget the knots if you don't use them much, or if you haven't yet used them much.
After a point -- after using a knot some number of times -- it becomes naturally etched in memory. It's almost like muscle memory. In fact, it may literally involve muscle memory.
Like tying your shoes.... After a point (event though it was hard at first), you can do it without thinking.
And the memory seems to last quite a while -- even after many years of non-use.
