Lots of Advice

The kind ladies on the Angel Yarns forum have given me lots of advice on how to get rid of my 'ladder/gap' between the 1st stitch and last one of my round. So far I've tried:

• pulling the stitch tigher when I knit it
• moving stitches around
• pulling the yarn tight throughout the round

Still getting a little gap...it doesn't seem to be there during the round but materialises at the end?! I've been told this could even out in the wash so will persevere. Have put sock aside though and started on "Fetching" from Knitty. Using very squishy Debbie Bliss Cashmerino in Plum. Always wanted to knit this and thought I could try out my DPN technique. The gap isn't as obvious (I'm thinking due to yarn thickness - but maybe I'm improving). It's fun but keep stressing about the gap...will knit some more and see how it comes along. Hope I don't have to frog it!
