1. Well, it is fast, for sure. But tying double knots (second more loosely) prevents coming untied.

so, I kind of think the extra time is worth it over the course of a day (or run).

3. Why couldn't you double knot this way?

5. If your shoe laces were long enough, I think you could. The laces that ship with my

favorite athletic shoes are not. But, I will give it a try, nonetheless.

2. What a great puzzle!

I appreciate the genius it took to figure that out. (Spatial intelligence isn't my strong suit.)

4. Ha!...

One of my earlier memories at 3 years? is being on our family's summer vacation re-tyiing one of my sneakers bc it'd came loose. But for a few seconds I couldn't remember!
Then I did; picking up the rythyns of the motions. 👍

6. An aunt had to teach me and my sister how to tie our shoes.

My parents were both left-handed, my sister and I were right-handed.

8. Oh, wow!...

Ha; that's a bit if a twist, and partly unusual to have both parents be left handed!
Btw, I'm a lefty!
You kind of got a taste (albeit at too young an age) of the confusion we lefties sometimes face.

But good you had family who could teach you!


Otoh, when I at 17, and still very left-handed I asked my right-handed mom to teach me how to knit.
By the third try ,😄 we were yelling at each other! We gave up.

I learned waaaaay later (30 yrs) when from a book with very clear drawings and text I did learn right handed!
I crochet left handed. 👍

9. I am right handed but I tie my shoes left handed

I never noticed I did this until my father brought it to my attention

10. Teach the kids this,... forget that idea,..

The little shits are so fast anyway,..

do we really want to teach them this - to make them more proficient at leaving us in the dust ?

I can hardly keep up now.
