Why do my bracelets keep curving?? It's driving me nuts! I finally got to where I tie them right enough. And I use Masha Knots idea of extra strings on the side to keep them straight. But now they all curve to the left. I can't figure it out! Ughhhh!!

do you tie all of your knots with one hand dominantly? i tie all of mine with my right hand so my bracelets all curve a bit right since i our more pressure on that side

I do tie with my right hand. Maybe that has something to do with it.

There’s a great video masha knots posted on her channel that talks about how to make your bracelets straighter (but I think it’s for alphas, I don’t know) It also might be the tightness of how you knot your knots too.

If you are moving left to right and knotting row by row it might be that your beginning knots on each row are tighter. Or if you are doing chevron-based patterns where the left side is mostly forward knots and the right mostly backward knots it might be that your forward knots are tighter than your backward knots. I would just be real careful to make sure each knot has the same tension. It’s tedious, but hopefully it helps!
