@amarkowitz what are you confused about exactly?I recommend watching MashaKnots' video on the flat alpha technique. It is really well made. But there are also other creators who have good videos on it. |

@halokiwi - it seemed easy after watching the video, but I got confused when I started - strings got tangled up... perhaps I did too challenging of a pattern for my first try. I’m planning to watch clips of the video when I do the next one. Maybe i just need more practice 😃

@amarkowitz yes, I would recommend a pattern with not too many colours to start with.I think to avoid strings getting tangled it is helpful to have them on bobbins. Personally I always put the strings I'm currently not using to the side in which direction I am knotting. I think it is important to develop a system where you put your strings you are currently not using to avoid tangles. If you are not using a certain colour for a while you can also just cut that colour and reintroduce it once you need it again. And don't forget: practice makes perfect! This technique needs some practicing like any other technique does too. Personally I disliked this method when I first tried it but now that I had more practice and the results look nice I actually like this technique a lot 👍 |
