That's generally how I am, until I actually tie the knot for a purpose; which is why I asked how people were using them. I've had a printed list of knots for years now, but failed to memorize them.

I have a piece of paper printed out like that, bit would love to have that. Where can I get one Bob?

Really don't know where we could find another one of these. I have had it for about 30+ years and have never taken the strings off the cardboard. The orange colored string used to be bright RED so you know it's old -- even older than me

I've seen similar knot cards at the Scout shops and occasionally at book stores.

Bowline, square, figure 8, and another I can't remember the name of but it's used to join 2 ends of something flat (like tubular nylon) together.

Water or water tape knot

I use the surgeons knot all of the time in my knitting.... I know that using knots of any kind in knitting are frowned upon, but after hours of work I'll be damned if it comes apart, especially if I'm making something for kids.

I also use a few knots who's names I don't know for fly tying and fishing.

I always make up knots to finish off sewing projects. I really should learn a real one..
