the benefits of long term memory

I actually remembered how to knit some!
Seriously, this is a big thing. I am not so good with the physical skills (I have the worst kinesthetic learning ability) and I have a terrible memory. But I figured it out again easily, although casting on is still a massive pain in the ass. The people at the yarn place are nice and friendly and if you need help desperately you're encouraged to come in and people will fix your mistakes and pat you on the head.
I also figured out what I was doing wrong before (pulling my stitches too tight on the needle, which led to lots of annoying wrestling and giving up).
Wow. I mean, damn. This might make sense yet.
