Occasionally, I get the urge to try a new knot and frequently use this site
http://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/
to make sure I do it right.

I have used the uni knot forever and can tie it blindfolded and use the pitzen knot a lot but just cannot get it right at night (the eyes just aint what they used to be). I would love to use some of the knots that have a double pass of line thru the eye but have enough trouble getting the line thru the first time

Ocean Springs, Ms.
The double palomar is my go to for a terminal knot. I can relate to the eyes not being what they used to.
Try making a bight in the line before passing it through the eye. You feel it rather than have to see it as it pops in the eye.
Hope it saves some frustration....
