When i make alphas and post the photos i can’t help but feel like mine look almost stretched out and more like it’s made out of rectangles than pixels. to keep them from looking stretched out is it as simple as tighter knots or is there more to it than that? All tips and tricks and even untested ideas are welcome and appreciated.

Here are a few things that might help- use thicker base strings or double the base strings - make looser knots - push the rows up with a ruler or something similar after each row |

This is because knots are almost never perfectly square, and it can take a lot of practice, in general; if your bracelets are stretching to look to wide, then the knots should be tighter. And if they are looking to long, then they need to be losser.
