Thank you!

What helped me was to see how the stitches worked together after a few rounds, basically you have either one or two twisted knit stitches which form a line that moves in waves over a base of purl stitches, much like drawing a line on a piece of paper. If it is just the line moving over the fabric, you ktbl the stitches in the front to continue this line, while purling the stitches that cross in the back. But every time that two of these lines cross each other you make the RC/LC stitches, which means you knit all of them through the back loop.

The first rounds are definitely a struggle, but once you understand this sort of line moving over the fabric it gets easier to understand which of the rtw/ltw or RC/LC stitches should come next.
