I agree SodaPop’s cows are amazing!! Do you have a genre you’d like?

@SweetKeeks I was hesitating to do it because it has ten colors, but maybe I should do it. what do you think?

I’m not the best at alpha😅, but definitely try!! if it isn’t working out, leave it for a bit and work your way up to 10 colours

@dracula the cow with the least colors is #107384 😊 But if you're comfortable adding in a few colors, then you'll be able to add more just as easy. Try adding in each new color 2 rows before you need to use it and pair it with the base string that comes before the first knot. So for those 2 rows, you'll be using the background string or whatever other color to knot around both the base string and the new color together. This will help keep your strings locked in when you cut off the extra length on the back. Just remember to keep all the knotting strings pulled upward and out of the way on the backside when not using. I find it easiest to use 24-36" pieces of string (longer than that starts to get tangled if you don't have a really good organizing system lol)

Another trick to help your alphas stay straight and organized is after finishing each row, use a ruler (or any straight edge like a credit card) to push up firmly on the finished row while pulling down on all the base strings. This keeps the rows straight and tight, and helps avoid wavy loose rows 👍 😊

I can't wait to see your cow bracelets!
