you can just slip the first stitch without knitting it on every row. this makes a nice edge for when you need to sew seams.
just don't give up =)

hi, i'm a self-taught knitter too, and that i had the comparable undertaking. it fairly is a trick i present day in maximum of my books, and it fairly works nicely. Slip sew the 1st sew of each roll. In different words once you end knitting (or pearling) a row, place your needles as you frequently do once you're approximately to start the subsequent row. Slip the empty needle interior the direction of the 1st sew purely such as you frequently do, yet relatively of knitting the sew, purely slip it onto the clean needle. this technique creates an outstanding element that's far less probably to twist. If i could knit or pearl the 1st sew while i'm following a trend, as i bypass alongside, while those end stitches start to loosen, at times i'm going to slip the 1st sew until slipping the 1st sew messes up the trend. if so, I attempt to not worry concerning the unfastened stitches. I do pull the yarn to tighten the sew, even nonetheless the backside loop seems to come again up and onto the needle. each now and then, unfold your knitting out and take a seem on the perimeters. in the event that they seem ok, do not worry concerning the visual attraction of each sew as you bypass alongside. It took me awhile to confirm precisely the thank you to slip stitches, so if my training are complicated, deliver me an e mail and that i'll attempt to locate a link to a internet site that has photographs that describe this technique. in case you have a e book, seem for training on slipping stitches. The technique is the comparable no count in case you slip the 1st sew, or a sew everywhere else interior the row. stable success! Ginny

This is probably due to some uneven tension or not ensuring a tight enough last stitch (since it is the first stitch of the next row too it's important to make a tight stitch). The effect is more pronounced if you're using too large of needles for the weight of the yarn. I don't really have an suggestions, it's just something you figure out over time.
Good luck!
