i did #13774 and my photo just uploadedi see a few mistakes and just some unclean stuff (also a bit where one of my background strings slid out) but overall it was good i think but i need some constructive criticism from people who actually know what they’re doing |

i'm definitely not a professional at making alphas, but here are a few things i noticed. 1. the knots look too tight. try to keep them a little looser. 2. its kinda bumpy. are you using the same thread size? different thicknesses make different sized knots. 3. the edges are bumpy, too. i can't tell what kind of knot you used at the edges but using forward-backward knots after forward rows and bf knots after backward rows makes straight edges. hope this helps, keep up the great work! 😇 |

I'm certainly no pro at alphas but here is my advice:1. Try pushing up each row after you complete them to make your rows straighter. 2. Learn the straight-edge technique for alphas. I just recently learned how to do this and makes your bracelets look sooooo much better. Look it up on tiktok, there are some good tutorial videos. 3. Stay consistent with your knots and don't make them too tight or too loose. Make sure every knot is the same level of tightness. 4. Make sure you're switching colors correctly. There are good tutorial videos on tiktok for that too. I hope this helps! 🙂 |
