You might be knitting too tightly. When I first started, that was my big problem.

Ah I love your videos (: I'm so happy, I've been trying to learn to knit on my own and your careful instruction has been so helpful to me. It helps when you go slowly and I'm really able to see how you're doing your stitches. Excellent.

Excellent!
Thank you for this video. I really appreciate the clear, step by step instructions. Especially how best to hold work and needle in your hands. My technique is much smoother now. I am looking forward to learning from your other videos.

There are many reasons why your stitch count might increase:
-- you're not removing the worked stitch from the left needle after having completed it
-- you're working into the space between the stitches (I did this a lot when I started out)
-- you're making an accidental 'yarn over', i.e., you're bringing the yarn around to the front of the needle and over it again before working the next stitch, which makes a hole in the fabric
It's hard to give concrete advice without seeing it. Good luck!
