Honestly it just takes practice. Try to be consistent when you tie your knots.

You could also set one of the photos as your profile picture, if you don't want to publish them.

Hello, @evelynbill ! I've gotten back into bracelet making in the last few months, so not an expert, by any means. I think you may be talking about knot tightness consistency. Some things that seem to help me is to be fully looking at the bracelet when I'm working. Music and audio books are good, watching TV, not so much. Then, I find a rhythm. I hold the base string straight, slide the knot up then, when it's in the right spot, tighten it ... then give it another little cinch, checking that it's a good size next to it's neighbors.Loop - slide - tighten - cinch Loop - slide - tighten - cinch The rhythm becomes relaxing to me. I should say I'm doing only regular bracelets, though. I'm not too sure how it works in alpha bracelets. Using a straight edge after each row to push the knots into alignment might help. *And, forward-backward and backward-forward knots tend to be less consistent for me. But I think getting into your own rhythm is the practice that helps. Happy knotting! |
