Hi Everyone! I am so happy to find this forum. I have already learned so much. I am new to crochet and know the basics, but one thing that is bugging the heck out of me is the hole, or space, that is left when I slip stitch at the end of a round. I am working with the magic ring and I love it (no more hole in the middle) but these spaces on the side are ruining the look of my project! Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to prevent this?
