Too much Yarn in between needles

[lgbrlbatb]

I am trying to knit a pair of booties but as soon as I finish knitting the first row I have 2 straight pieces of string in between the needles. It seems like too much. I have re-tried several time and I still keep getting this. The next step is to M1 increase by lifting the thread in between and I don't know which od the two stright pieces to lift.

this happens to me too sometimes, but I never figured out why

If these are knit in the round it sounds like one of the cast on stitches dropped off.

Mine always happen after I cast on - as I knit the first row, but then it goes away after a couple of rows. This would be in straight knitting.
