This is a very detailed tutorial with altogether 10 common knitting mistakes and how to avoid them. All these tips and tricks have nothing to do with knitting a single stitch yet have such a huge impact on the look of your finished project. And these are not just beginner knitting mistakes. Even a lot of advanced knitters make them. They pick the wrong yarn, knit in a bad spot/bad posture, never take breaks, don't track their progress and so much more. Yet, by following a couple of easy knitting tips and tricks, it's quite simple to achieve neater results. Here are my suggestions.
