How to Adjust Knitting Yarn Tension

"Now I'm going to do one more row of that "knit two, pearl two" so you can get the hang of it. See, the trick of this is just remembering when to pull the yarn back and forth. So here we go.

So here comes the knit one and a knit two. See, I'm catching myself there because I did it a little tight. Another thing you have to remember is don't knit too tight because when you do, it is just a nightmare getting that stitch off, and you don't want to make anything tough for yourself. So, we are on pearl one and pearl two and then throw that yarn back over; goodbye! It's time to knit; and knit one and knit two. Oops! See what happens? I must have done that stitch a little tight.
