Beginner Knitter Question?
I am new to knitting as I just starting teachng myself yesterday. I know how to cast on and have mastered that. I completed my first row and I attempted my second row. It looked horrible and way too loose. I don't know why it looked so loose when I was pulling it as tight as I could. Anybody who can help me here would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks

No...don't pull it tight. Your stitches could be loose because you have bigger needles than the yarn calls for OR you just naturally knit looser. It doesn't matter when you're learning. Just keep knitting and your tension will get better as you practice.
