My work is curling!!

[elisatmiller]

Ok...so I'm new. I'm knitting/purling along and my work is completing curling in towards itself on both sides. Is this a tension thing or am I flipping my working wrong when I'm finished with a row?

Yup, stockinette stitch curls. If you knit a row then purl a row you are working in stockinette. This isn't a problem if you edge your work in ribbing, garter or seed stitch, or some other non-curling stitch.
Are you trying to knit something in particular or are you just knitting along for fun?
