Halfway through my bracelet when I started having a lot of color changes, I started having a problem of other colors that I switched from poking up through if that makes sense. Pulling the offending color doesn't seem to work, rather, it pops knots out. Does anyone know how to fix? I had this problem really early on when I just started and I thought I fixed it, but :///// yeah

Which way are you pulling the color that’s showing through? When I have a string poking through, I put a finger on the knots near where the string is poking through, and then pull the string completely horizontally (left or right depends on the direction of the knots)

They're coming through the top of the knot of the new color, pulling usually works for me but for some reason it was just popping knots out.

So when you are making the knots where you have to change color, you want to kinda tug the old color downward so that the knot forms over it in that position and it won’t pop back up. If that doesn’t solve your problem, try repositioning the knots with your fingernail. They may just not be close enough together and are therefore letting open space show other colors

I second what @annadf said, and also are you using the flat alpha technique? That creates a more cohesive bracelet, and might help you.

That has happened to me and it is just the way you knotted
