Hi, is it just me, or do more people find it easier to read normal patterns diagonally instead of row by row?It goes much faster this way, especially with patterns that have many diagonal lines in one color. I'm just curious if this is a thing, or if I'm the only one doing this, and if it might be worth making a tutorial for it. |

I never really did strict row by row, but I agree that going in diagonals is a great alternative to it. Usually I stick with segment-knotting, but if I wasn't able to do that for whatever reason, I'd definitely pick diagonals over rows.

Yeah, I completely agree. I also prefer segment knotting but my go to otherwise is knotting chevron by chevron or diagonally. If you wanted to, I think this would be a very valuable tutorial for people who have trouble with normals.

I don't really do diagonal unless the pattern is mostly diagonal, I'm actually fine with row by row, usually segment knotting makes it more difficult for me lol

I've written a tutorial that hopefully explains it well: https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/97_how-to-segment-knot/In it I wrote: "Segment knotting is when instead of going row by row when doing a normal bracelet you knot in segments. Segments are groups of knots that can be done at once without getting in the way of other knots. If you have done a candystripe (#1) or chevron (#2) you most likely already used this technique. You knotted in diagonals instead of row by row." Basically you go in diagonals as much as possible but only until that diagonal is interrupted. |
