When I knit off the first stitch it is so tight that I am fighting with it  
to loosen it to get it up and over the peg.  Since the tail is attached to  
the anchor which is to the right of this peg that I am taking off to begin 
with,  I do not have any way of re-tightening itt without [I don't know 
going back and  undoing it].

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!!!
