After watching Masha Knot's video about how tightly she ties her knots with alphas, and how she's been trying to loosen them up, I realized I also tie my knots very tightly. I have similar issues with colors peeking through, warped/bumpy bracelets, and uneven knots. For the past several projects, I've been trying to loosen my knots, but I've been having trouble keeping them all consistent. I don't really know how much to loosen them (a lot or a little?). Have any of you had success in loosening knot tension for alphas? How much did you loosen your knots? Thanks! |

There’s two parts of a knot. The first is to place, the second is to secure. If I need to make a knot looser or lower down so it makes the row straight, I make the first part of the knot looser. I pay very close attention to how I do it so I can replicate it. Then I do the second part of the knot and secure it where I want it. You can also make the knot look a little bigger by doing the second part of the knot a little looser

try to keep the first part of the knot consistent, like said above. i’ve had similar problems when i start alphas, and i’d just say to tie the strings tight enough to keep the bracelet together, and not too much tighter otherwise the knots get wonky 🎞🥝📀🌱
