When making alphas over the course of several days, the tightness of my knots vary each day. For example I started half a pattern in the evening and it was neat and tight. The next day I went to finish it, and my knots were super loose even though I felt as though I was tying pretty tight. This made the whole pattern look super messy in the end and it made me sad since I spent a lot of time on it. Any tips to help find a consistency in my knotting?

I can't tell you much but: keep practicing! The more you practice the more consistent your knotting will get in general.

Some short term things to consider:
- try having a similar setting each time you knot. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but depending on how and where you sit while making the bracelet it might have an influence on your consistency.
- try to not have many distractions and look at your knotting critically. If you notice differences in your knotting you might adjust your technique slightly.
