Hi there! I’m new to knitting help, and am in need of some help! I’m a somewhat experienced knitter (but a also a pretty infrequent knitter at this busy stage of life.) I was excited to start up a knitting project with this extra time and have discovered I’ve started doing something strange and my stockinette looks terrible! 
It’s happening when I knit flat and in the round. I think I’m twisting stitches, but have no idea how! I’ve been knitting painfully slow and carefully, watching my work but it’s still happening 
I know I’m knitting into the front of the stitch and wrapping the yarn counterclockwise but am out of ideas. It’s not just a tension issue either, the individual stitches are seriously goobered! Any tips, suggestions or anything would be so greatly appreciated. I don’t think this poor project can be frogged any more times!
I was going to suggest knit in the round – and you’ve done that. Try smaller needles?
Welcome to this forum! When looking at the pictures I could not find any wrong knitted stitch. Yes, they are a few stitches that look a bit uneven, but that will even out during the first wash. I think the biggest reason to those uneven stitches is because of differences in how much you opened up the stitches when knitting into them. I suspect this because one leg of the V is shorter than the other.
It might be the way the yarn is plied, too.

You could try a swatch with a different yarn to check this.
Your pattern stitch in combination with the stockinette is lovely.
Thank you engblom! Are you meaning that when I insert my needle into the stitch on the needle I maybe doing something weird or inconsistent at this step? Im intrigued 
Thank you salmonmac for your suggestion! I tried a swatch in some very different yarn and still notice these “off” stitches 
OK, try washing the swatch as engblom suggested and see if that helps. It is curious. Maybe pinning the swatch to dry flat will also help.
Yes, that is exactly what I mean. At this stage one is normally forcing the stitch slightly bigger so it is easier to pull the yarn through and by opening it in a different way you might get a bit uneven knitting.
Thank you. I hadn’t considered that
This might interest you.
Thank you so much GrumpyGramma! I think (hope!) that’s it! Im not a tip of the needle knitter and likely pull between between stitches. Im going to go practice! Super helpful- thanks a bunch. 
You’re welcome. Even tension is an ongoing problem for me. I do get better but I’ve got a long way to go. Do you know if the problem is predominately on the knit or purl side? I knit Continental and Norwegian purling has helped even out my tension a lot.
I think your knitting looks pretty darned good!
I’m not sure. Id guess on the purl side but considering it’s just as bad when knitting in the round as flat, maybe not? I don’t know. I’ve ripped out and reworked to where I was focusing on knitting on the tips and keeping even tension and Im sadly not sure it looks any better 
Hello
I have looked at your pics and don’t see anything that looks “wonky”. What are u referring to??

Bumpy, uneven texture. Some of the stitches look twisted or misformed to me
Again, I don’t see anything wrong!! Maybe if you drew some arrows on the photo to point out exactly what you’re referring to.

There’s a few in that area that look off. Bigger, raised, askew… I’ve kept working on the project and have found my work has evened out significantly working in the round more. I’m thinking maybe I have a purling problem 
If you knit Continental you might try Norwegian purling. If not, never mind. I can’t hold my yarn exactly as Arne does but the method of purling is great, it even fixed my loose knit before a purl problem.
Im regretfully an English knitter. Seriously considering switching though!
