Ugh! I have the knit side down, its the purl side that leaves a noticeable hole. Here is what I am doing. I knit to the first beginning marker for the short row. I wrap the stitch and knit across to the next marker. I wrap that stitch and turn. I purl across, purl i nto the wrapped stitch and turn and knit around. There is a definate hole, what am I doing wrong??? I hate this!!

Can you give us a tiny bit more information? Where is your yarn when you wrap the st?
On the knit side, I have it in back, I slip the st, I bring the yarn forward, and then I slip the st back. Then I turn the work, bring the yarn forward and then purl across to the other side.
On the purl side, I have the yarn in front, I slip the st, I take the yarn to the back, I slip the st back, then I turn the work, send the yarn to the back again, and start knitting.
Then when I come to each stitch, I grab both the st and the wrap and knit them together.
See if that helps...

Thank you. I think I am dong it backwards! I am bringing the yarn forward, then slipping the stitch, then wrapping then slipping the stitch back. I bet thats it! I will try your way on the next row. Thanks!!!
