I'm having problems with my knitting.
I've just finished a matinee jacket which is all very nice, but
there's a definite 2 row pattern going on. One row is definitely more
prominent than the other.
I've done a piccy:

It would seem that it is the knit rows that are more prominent. This
is clear from the front (not shown particularly well from my picture)
but is even more apparent from the back; the "gaps" between stitch
ends form very definite rows.
I assume this is a tension problem. I've been desperately trying to
get equal tension on my knit and my purl rows, but it would appear I
haven't succeeded. I'd like both tensions as the purl row, ideally
(i.e. apparently the taughter of the two)
Any suggestions very gratefully received!
Thanks

Definitely tension.
*some* people have to use different sized needles for knit rows versus purl
rows....
Q: do you knit English/American or CONTINENTAL??

Ummm, yesbut... English and Continental are two styles of knitting. In
English the yarn is held in the right hand, and in Continental it's held
in the left.

ah right, I am showing my ignorance <grin> I am right handed, and at
the start of each row the needle with the stitches on is in my left
hand, and the yarn in my right
