When I taught a lady how to knit, she had the same "problem" of loose stitches. I sat down to watch her knit and I noticed that she held her needles very far apart from each other. I suggested that she try to hold her needles closer toward each other. As it turned out, the distance between her two needles is what caused the stitches to be so loose.
Just a thought ...
Happy knitting!
