Thank you for this informative video. I have been knitting for many years, and my tension had improved a great deal, no rowing out.....then I got into crochet, and I think my tension is going to take time to get back to what it was whilst knitting again.....I had no idea about the difference the angle of our knitting needles made to our stitches. I will watch my angles and see what I am doing....thank you so much! ...
Wow, this was interesting I'm off to test swatch to see where my problem is. I just subscribed. Hmm thought I did, but, nope. Probably still new to UA-cam back then. I'm back and in now !! Lots of videos to watch :-)
That you know all of this knitterly stuff always amazes me! Happily I don’t have this issue, and now I wonder if it’s because I very rarely purl, but knit backwards? (When doing this backwards row, my needles are always at that 45 degree angle.). Thanks and have a great week❤
Hi Esme. I am happy to know that you don't have rowing out in your knitting. It is very possible that the way you hold needles as you purl does not give rowing out a slightest chance. Happy knitting, my friend!
I never run into this issue. I knit combined continental. Which means I knit into the back stitch on the knit side which then makes it easier to purl into the stitch on the purl side because I don't wrap the yarn around like most knitters do. This is why throwers have looser stitches on the purl side. My knitting is smooth and even on both sides. Never get a gap.
I will try this technic, thank you! I only have this problem when I knit Western style. My eastern-european knitting is very neat, but I have a headache to translate the patterns written for Western knitters.
You can switch between the Western and the Eastern knitting styles even within the same project. Do the switch in a purl row before you are about to work a section in stockinette stitch, and you will get the best of both worlds - no need to adjust a pattern, and no rowing out in the stockinette fabric. Happy knitting!

You are most welcome, Carole. I hope this little trick will help you as it helped me to even out my tension. Happy knitting!
This is SO helpful! First time I've heard it explained clearly. So easy to adjust! A thousand thanks

Thanks for your comment regarding always knitting into the back. I will practice and see if this is something I can adopt. Again thanks!

@@10rowsaday Thank you so much! It is very good news.
Does the needle angle trick also apply for Norwegian purling?
I haven't tested it with Norwegian purling. If you do give it a try, please let me know whether it resolved rowing out. Many thanks.
