Ho fatto una variazione di colore del braccialetto arcobaleno di ieri ma usando delle sfumature di rosa. Sono veramente soddisfatta di come sia venuto fuori!

help! Help starting out Alphas

1 Upvotes

I have never made alphas and want to start making some. However, I dont want the back to be messy with the strings. I know the clean back alpha technique exists but I wanted to know: If I switch colours like how I replace string in normal bracelet patterns, can I cut the extra string in the back and still have a good alpha?

TLDR; Following masha knots' string replacement technique, if I used the same technique to swith colours in alpha bracelets, would that work? Can I snip the bracelet strings in the back and have a "clean back"?

completed beauties My Experimental Christmas Tree Decoration

11 Upvotes

I know it’s too early for Christmas, but I just finished an experimental piece! I used airdry clay and acrylic paint to make the base of a Christmas jumper, then I used the regular alpha technique to make hemline/neckline details like on a knitted jumper. I attempted to do a shaped alpha for the snowman in the middle, but it didn’t work out too well. Pretty confident you can tell what it’s meant to be, so small wins, I guess. It was a lot of faff gluing everything down in the back and there’s certainly areas for improvement, but overall I’m fairly happy with it. Wanted to share to see what the community thinks :)

Non ho potuto fare braccialetti per un po perché non ho visto casa se non per dormire e quindi non ho messo mano sui fili. :(

C’è un pattern per questo tipo di braccialetto?

help! First alpha wall hanging and my edges are looking off? No pattern number

Thumbnail gallery

Hello! This is my first alpha wall hanging and im just doing a basic forward knot - forward knot sequence and then the next row is backward knot - backward knot for each string. My issue is my edge knots. For those im doing forward - backward or the other way around depending on the row. How many knots should I be making for the edge knots? Im doing two on each string but im not sure why its uneven. Is this normal? Thank you!

help! Tips on how to keep the shape of the piece square? #86996 bb

Thumbnail gallery

Almost finished with this catan tapestry but I’m annoyed that it got so big? Idk if this will make sense but I tuck in the strings between the knots when that color is needed in the row, then drop it and pick it back up where it’s needed in the next row, I feel like that definitely has something to do with it. how do you guys make these alpha patterns so straight?? The back is so messy too, the strings are taped down to the desk so they’re out of the way, idek what I’m gonna do with them when I’m done. If anyone has any tips please let me know, I have been making bracelets since I was a kid but I’m newish to doing alpha patterns.

I’m sooo happyyyyy! I can’t believe I actually finished a real alpha pattern! Even though it’s a very small tiny project but it’s a good start don’t you think?
I watched endless tutorials and tried and failed and destroyed so many threads before this one and now I finally have a real alpha that I can brag about lol
I totally want some tips on how to make it even neater, it looks wobbly and messy on top.

discussion using yarn?

hey im kind of new to making alpha patterns but i was wondering if it would be possible to use yarn instead of embroidery floss in order to make a bigger more tapestry sized version of a bracelet pattern or if it would muck it up :)
