I recently started up tying again and I noticed that my fingers were getting really sore and iritated while I was tying. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? I really don't want to make my fingers bleed... What do you do?

I've never had that problem, but maybe lotion might solve you problem. Just a suggestion.

try band aids

put on some lotion and try wrapping something around them when you make your bracelets!

Thanks! :) I'll try a few of these

If I'm going through a phase where I'm knotting like crazy, I pull so hard that the strings will literally cut my fingers. I found these things called finger protectors (they're meant to be for quilting) that cover up to the first joint on your fingers and protect them. It definitely takes some getting used to, wearing them while knotting, but now they don't phase me at all.

I use fabric band aids around the first joint of the fingers that the strings cuts against when I knot. I saw that it wasn't the same fingers for both hands so I recommend seeing which fingers are in contact with the string then covering those.
