Gaps with short rows
Working a pair of longies and I keep getting a gap on my second hip where I do a wrap and turn. For some reason the first w&t looks great but the second one looks extremely loose. I've tried pulling the wrap tighter and I've tried knitting the next stitch tight and I've tried knitting the next ROW tight. None of them help. It's not like it REALLY matters since they're just for my own boys but I'd love to find out what I'm doing wrong or a trick to make it look better.

Is this one on the purl side, the other on the knit side? Maybe watching a video of how to pick it up would help. I'm not having any luck finding a good video myself, maybe you can. I use the German short rows method and find the problem with holes isn't such a problem for me and they show less.
