It's a day later and I continued to practice this technique, and I'm so glad I persevered. The edge tension in my swatch is improved from what it was before when I first started to apply this technique. One thing that enabled me to get better results is the understanding this technique allows in the formation of the stitches and the yarn used to form them. I think I will continue to practice until I get the swatch to be as uniform as possible. I know that the edge tension issue will not be 100% eliminated because the nature of the stitches will not allow it. But any amount of improvement is great, in my opinion. Also, I've been practicing using worsted weight 100% wool yarn. Thank you again for this demo :)
Helpful demo. Thank you. I wonder how much of this tension at the edges will resolve. Will there still be an issue at the edges just by the nature of the stitch? I've tried and tried and the best I can do is make it less noticeable, but I can see that the edges are different from the rest of the stitches on the row/fabric even after I tried this method.
Thank you for this tip! Would this same approach apply with ribbing? I'm wondering if tightening up the p2 after the first k2 would help that column. Already tightening up when bringing yarn to front to avoid ladder, but still getting clumsy column next to selvedge. Thanks!

Thank you Arenda...Very helpful!
Would this technique help resolve laddering when knitting (i.e. socks) on DPNs?
Thank you!
