Learning how to tie the knots right might help...

The knots are my downfall. I can watch so.eone do them over and over, do it right once and by the next one forget what I did the first time.

Knots? I'm so impressed with all the other work you did changing color and a complete relace ........ what knots? NICE job!

It's all in how they line up when tying the knots and the movement is in the wrists.
