I found out that I do my knots weird instead of pulling my sting up through the loop I pull down through the loop. Is there anything I can/should do diffrently? Also does anyone else have this problem?

Basically this means you are doing your knots upside down which is completely fine.

For some normal patterns it can have a really cool effect but for some it can also turn out to look a little messy. For alphas I think both regular and upside-down knots look cool in any pattern.

I noticed that my upside down knots are not as smooth as my regular knots, but that might be because I don't practice them that much, but in theory they should be alright to do, because they are basically macrame knots.

I would say there are no special rules applying to upside down knots - only the advice that's given for regular knots too: pull the first half tight before making the second, try to have consistent tightness, use string of the same thickness and most important: practice, practice, practice!
