I'm betting you take your knitting everywhere! i do, too. Like tonight, for instance, to bookclub. I'm on a tight deadline & must have this scarf finished in time for my ZOOM session next week.

Personally when I knit fairisle I only need to memorize the row IтАЩm on then IтАЩm off to the races. Some times with smaller patterns all the rows are easy to memorize.
And be able to count and knit at the same time
ThatтАЩs what stitch markers are for.
See? I knew they were something like that but not what theyтАЩre called. Another pro knitter.

Lectures, church, waiting for kids, waiting for tow truck once. Anyplace
I have a friend whose license plate frame says" honk if the light turns green; I'm knitting'

And if she's knitting while doing the Sisters podcast, she has to recall all that legal "stuff" too. Too much for my brain to handle, for sure.
