Do your knots ever "slip" and you have to pull them back into place?

You make one fine knot, move on to the next one in the same row, and as your're tying the next knot, the previous knot slips out and you have to pull it back into place. Why does this happen?

If the happens, that probably means your first knot wasn’t tight enough. Make sure all your knots have the same tension!

Try to have the same tension of knots and the same thickness of strings. But it happens to everyone, with practice your knots will be better, don't worry! 😊

I think this is just something that happens with knots in certain places. I had this happen today, and I think it's more common in alpha patterns, what with color changes and shifting the strings around more. It could also be that as you're switching strings, you're pulling on the string that was knotted, causing it to slipBut yes, like with every little problem in bracelet making, practice is the best option |

Make sure to make your previous knot tighter! Also, maybe try using different strings?
