So I been having the problem where my triangle start will sometimes end up twisting the loop and making it all wonky. Can someone tell me why and how to fix it.

i recommend starting bracelets with triangle ends with a clipboard if you aren’t already because then they tend not to twist so easily!

I can honestly say I’m a little perplexed. 🤔 in what way does it make it twist the loop? I don’t think I’ve experienced this before but I’m curious as to why it might...

Hmm I've never had this problem either. Maybe try knotting on a herder surface (like a table, a clipboard or a board of some sort). I use the hardcover of an old large book that just broke off. This will allow you to keep your bracelet flat and hold it into place with mask tape (or regular tape). Foldback clips work as well, that's what I use. This will also allow you to use more tape as needed or move the clip down if you need to fasten it a bit lower, as your bracelet grows longer. I hope this helps 🤷🏼♀️

If you don't want your loop to twist make sure you use fb or bf knots for your loop. When you do the middle knot to connect both halves of your loop make sure it's not twisted in any way.I don't know if this is where your problem is coming from but it's hard to imagine what the reason could be because it's an unusual problem. |

I looked at the loop on your most recent picture. To me the loop looks normal. It's normal that it curves a bit. Maybe you could just make the loop a tiny bit bigger so there's not as much pressure on it. I think that might already solve the problem. Forget my previous answer.
