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

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Joyce;
Your anker peg is between peg x and peg one.  It can not be to the right of peg one
It is on the frame of the loom.  Most of us find it easier to use peg 1 as our anker peg and also count this as stitch 1.

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!!!
