From what you are writing I conclude that you have knotted an alpha before 🙂 this is good because you can use that to figure out the amount of stringsBase strings: In the alpha you have already knotted, you measure how long 10 rows are. You take that times 8,6 to figure out how long 86 rows would be and add some extra for the loop and ties. Leading strings: estimating this would be more difficult but you don't really need to. If you run out of string, you can just make a colour switch to a new string of that colour. |
