I am a newbie to looming, but I think this may be a mistake- going by these instructions my left side increase stitches have noticable holes at each increase i did.... though the right side is perfect!

@dandelions4u Hi there. The Yarn Over does deliberately create holes in the fabric. If you'd like to make an increase without the hole, we recommend the "make one" or "M1" increases. Type "loom knitting make one" into the search box here on YouTube to see a video from our friend, PurlingSprite.

Oh I think I understand now. You knitted the first "last" one because you were finishing that row. Then to start the next row going right to left you move it then knit it, wrap the empty one and then continue....Okay! got it I think...

Okay, but the first loop you moved you knitted before you moved it, then knitted it once again after moving it. The other end you moved the loop before knitting it---you just brought the yarn around it to knit after you moved it. So which do you do? Knit the loop, then move it and knit it again? Or Move it and pull the working yarn to the moved loop and knit it them? thanks!
