I was just curious, How long does it usually take you to finish an alpha, and also a normal bracelet?
(One under 20 strings)

It just depends on the simplicity of the bracelet for me hahah on average I wanna say a normal bracelet that’s a little more advanced would take me about an hour and a half or two hours and an alpha with 18 strings today took me over three hours for sure (((:

I think that I'm a bit slower than most, or I take more breaks.
The uno reverse card on my profile took me a few hours spread across multiple days
The black edged one with the white and leafy background took me a few hours over probably two days
The flower one with white base strings and a plant in the background surprisingly took me about two days and roughly 4 hours.
Alphas can take me up to a week at most and 2 days at least. Normal patterns can be at most 3 days and at least 1 day.
But I usually give myself a few days to make a bracelet since I have a hard time sitting down and knotting for 6+hours. Mostly because I get bad back pain but also because I'm super behind on school work 😂

I definitely work faster on alphas than normal bracelets. I made a 12 string alpha in about 3 hours. And I made a normal bracelet that was more advanced in like 4 hours. I would definitely classify myself as a slow knotter😂

i am a really slow knotter. i worked on this one bracelet (which turned out to be just a key chain ;( for about 6 hours 😳 but today or yesterday i could say, it took me 3 hours to do a braided leaf bracelet and it turned out really nice. today i’m gonna try my first alpha!

for normals under 20 strings it takes me at most 3 days. i knot for around an hour at a time since my fingers get cut easily and i get bored. for alphas it really depends. if i’m making one that is considered beginner friendly it can take me less than a day but if i’m doing a harder one it can take me weeks.
