https://pin.it/1PXCA8OHi all I'm new to the forum. This is a great site, thanks for all your help so far. So I'm a primitive weapons maker and I'm currently practicing this craft to incorporate it into my shepherd slings but I'm having a bit of a problem. I find that while I'm making these occasionally floss will have knots too far away from each other to tie a knot. I've untied quite a few knots looking for the problem and can't find it. All the strings seem to be knotted over the correct ones but regardless it keeps happening at the same spot. I posted the pic to Pinterest. Hopefully you can see it and maybe even figure out what I'm doing wrong lol. Thanks again! |

Hi! Sometimes I find that this happens to me in lots of different ways:

2) my strings are different thicknesses so they go bumpy and don’t fit together properly

Thanks for the responses! Well here’s the thing, I would guess you are right but for the life of me I could not find the spot I messed up on lol. So strange. But I wonder if for now I should stick with row by row knotting instead of segment knotting. That seems to be where I’m getting messed up. 😂

Yeah! It took me quite a few gos to master segment knotting, the amount of times that I unpicked it though 🤦🏼♀️

i don’t think there is an exact reason for this, but try to keep your knot tension constant!

This is what worked for me when I had holes in my bracelets and this is just how I knot. No two people knot the same. I make sure that when I'm knotting im holding down the string and don't let it move while I make both the knots on to it. So I use one hand to hold steady one string and I use the other hand to move the string around im knotting with around so that when I go to make my second knot the first string stays in its place. Your two knots serve different purposes. Your first knot is placement and the second is tightness and secures the knot in the right place. So to make sure the first knot stays in its correct place, which should be if you pull the string all the way up, be super conscious of not moving the base string. I hope that made sense....

I dont think its the segment knotting. The first part of any knot is the knot placement. so the tighter the first knot is, the less space between knots.
