Hi everyone! I was wondering if after time your ranking can go down or will it always stay the same and only go up when you qualify for an advance?

@hope642 hello, no your ranking will not go down. When you get a rank, it’ll stay the same until you rank up.🙂

@DrapeauL a 1212 pattern is a normal pattern with only or mainly fb and bf knots.

Hi! So I’m new to making bracelets & I’ve made a few patterns already without much trouble. Thought I’d attempt an alpha and I noticed my forward and backwards knots are on a slight angle instead of being straight which ruins the pattern. Does anyone have any clue how that happens & how I can improve so my knots are straight (as in completely vertical). I hope someone has answers 🙏🏻

Hi! This also happens to my knots, but I have a solution! I use a ruler to push all my knots up in each row of an alpha.Not only does this help with the straightness, it helps the bracelet be stronger, and not let the pattern flop around as much. Hope this helps!

Also, I have a question: How do you join official challenges?

@tiny_rose go to the challenge section, find an official challenge (they have "official" in the title), pick one of the patterns that are selected, make it and post a picture of the finished item to the pattern with the word "challenge" in the photo. The moderator who accepts your photo will also give you a reward. Rewards are the little numbers you can see on some people's profiles.

@DrapeauL You can pick really short repeating patterns, like below
#83760
#16667

You can also make some starts at home, and then have a pattern you already know memorized. The chevron, or candystripe are good for those.
#1
#2

Hope this helps~anything else, let me know!

@dragon17 Yep! That would be a good one to start with, keep in mind that when you do your colour switches tug on the base string underneath the knot you made if it looks a bit wonky. Good luck! 🙂

@DrapeauL Try and keep your hands relaxed and stretch them when they start to hurt. Try only using your thumbs and index finger.
