When doing alphas following MashaKnots' "Flat Alphas" tutorial my rows with more colour changes end up slightly thicker than ones with less. This results in an annoying wobblyness in my my bracelets. Any fix? I'm sure I'm following the tutorial correctly.

As far as I could find, that's just the way it is, unfortunately. You can make looser knots on the other rows to match the wider ones, but since you rarely have the widest row in the beginning, theres really not much you can do (that I know of - I'm not very knowledgable though).You can try to adjust the width when you're done by pulling the narrower rows apart or pushing the wider rows together. |

that happened a lot to me until very recently, i think just practicing helps with that. the angle of the strings kind of matters if that makes sense but it’s something you just learn over time

definitely make ur color changing knots way tighter, that always helps me. also try ur hardest to have the same thickness for all ur strings bc that can make it easier to make knots of similar size. u can also use a ruler to smooth out each row and that can sometimes help make color changes more even. hope some of this is helpful
