 when you made your first stitch, did you  tighten your tail.  Your first stitch might be to loose or gappy.  I do this when I knit off my first stitch.

OK I am still having a bit of a challenge with the round loom and I don't know what to do or what I am doing wrong.
 
I E wrap twice and begin left of the anchor pulling off stitches.  I  go in a right or left direction and it seems to do the same thing.  The  first stich that I pull up from the bottom over the top is tight.  I need  to pull it and work it up and off.  Now as I work going [it does not matter  which direction] the stitches I am pulling up from the bottom becomes a bit  looser 
and easier to pull up and off.[I don't have to fight it]   Now  I finish 
stitching off and go back and e wrap the entire loom again.  I  begin to the left of the anchor and move counter clockwise and the first stitch  is really tight and then they loosen.  
 
The problem that this is creating that I am really unhappy with the outcome  is that where the first stitch is created and since I am repeating what I am  doing I get this loose gappy stitch located at this one area that runs up the  total length of my work.  The stitches every place else in my work feel  evenly spaced and snug together, but I do not like this and how do I stop doing  it???
 
Help!!!
