Hello! Im making my fourth alpha pattern right now, pattern #143867 , and its going well, but when i switch colours it gets bunpy, but once i do the same colour in a row its smooth and looks clean. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it better? Thank you!! 🙂

Are you using the flat alpha technique? If not, I can highly recommend it. MashaKnots has a video on it.

I had the same issue! What really works for me is loosening my knots, but not too loose. It takes some time to find the sweet spot

sometimes if your string is different like different brands or types that effects it

I think this video may be helpful if you're using the flat alpha technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLJNBsBma_M.
But, if you don't use the flat alpha technique, watch first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YVFAX9sacw
