[Nfb-krafters-korner] another looming question please help me

First of all, I think you have clock wize and counter clock wize, reversed.

If you are right handed you should be e-wrapping from 1-x, which is counter clock wize, the opposite of the way the hands on a clock go.

If you choose to knit off your last stitch, like Henry and I have found helpful, then you are knitting off in a clock wize manor.  To continue, you have to go back to e-wrapping in a counter clock wize manor.  
Use your anker peg for your starting and stopping point!

This gappyness should not be happening. 
When I start, I put my slip knot on peg 1 ane e-wrap all the way around the loom and e-wrap peg 1 again.  Pull on your tail and then knit this stitch off.  Make sure there is no slack yarn.  Continue e-wrapping around the loom, to the anker peg and knit off in either direction. Peg 1 will already have been knitted so do not knit it again until you are ready to start row, 2.  I had you knit off stitch 1, only to lock in your tail or you might say to lock in your slip knot.

This is easier then a slip knot on the anker peg, I think.

To add to the confusion that I might have created.  Let me give this  just another few words.  I e wrap twice around..  I start taking off  beginning with the first peg to the left of the anchor.  I take off going  in a counter clockwise moving to the right and continuing around counter  clockwise.  [I am thinking that will lock that last e wrap down with the  first stich.  
Thenm moving to the right pulling stitches up and over in a  counter clockwise motion.  

I have done exactly this trying going clockwise, too starting from the beginning and I still get this ladder type row going from the bottom row upward  that is loose and not tight like all the other stitches.

Hi!

I don't know if I understand precisely what you are  doing, but I think, not sure here, you are wrapping in one direction and  then knitting off in the opposite direction and never doing anything  to connect your last peg and your first peg? Maybe?

I use to tie a  slip knot onto my anchor peg and I had some crazy funky things happen to my  pieces--I cannot even begin to explain in an email. I now put my slip knot  on peg one and knit off when the time comes. Try wrapping and knitting in  the same direction.
