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.
I’ll admit they can be fiddlely. However once you get a size you like with the needles and yarn you are using they can be lifesavers especially with lace.
Personally when I knit fairisle I only need to memorize the row I’m on then I’m off to the races. Some times with smaller patterns all the rows are easy to memorize.
That’s what stitch markers are for.
See? I knew they were something like that but not what they’re called. Another pro knitter.
LOL It truly is just practice. Many of us who knit while podcasting (that would be Joyce, not me) or attending lectures find it helps us focus better.
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'
