One of the things I've learned from teaching knots to Boy & Girl Scouts in the BSA is that you must constantly re-learn them or your skills will founder. It's not like riding a bike for me. That could be a visual-spacial memory thing, but many of my co-knot-tieing scouting teachers seem to have the same experience... so this site is perennially useful.

Favorite knot (involving a Rabbit going "through the hole, around the tree, and back down the hole"): Bowline Knot

A number of years back I decided I needed to learn to tie more than just an overhand knot. Of the handful I learnt, the bowline (along with the clove hitch) is by far the most used. It's amazing how much easier life can be knowing a couple of basic knots.
