I find as I'm knotting, the thread twists, which can cause the long thread I'm working with to twist up and tangle. If that's what is happening, you could try letting the needle and thread drop *while keeping all thread with pearls on, away ( I drape it over my knee, knotted pearls on one side, unknotted pearls on other) and gently run two fingers down the length of twisted thread so it untwists. I don't know if this makes sense.. much easier to do than describe. Knotting gets much easier with practice.
