As much as I enjoy mechanical and working on things, I would rather weave baskets than build another wheel. Big help ain't I?
Good luck!
This seems to be my same problem, need move the spokes clock wise by one. The implement is pointing to the misplaced spoke which is just right of the key spoke on the other side. The spoke should also start just to the right of the key spoke below. This is completely distracting my work today, if I don't figure this out someone's not getting their enterprise system released today...This.^
I made a mistake on my second wheel, off by one. I don’t remember ending with two spokes next to each other either, but could be wrong. If everything looks good, back out all the nipples by the same amount. You can also try to grab the hub and push it side to side in the hoop for the spokes to settle and adjust a bit.

Too bad it's expensive knitting or I would just keep buying and knitting more. It was fun while it lasted. I do still have those road hoops from you...wheelbuilding is knitting for men

Once your past the basket weaving part, is when it gets frustrating.
Side to side runout is easy. A hop (or 2) is very difficult to adjust all while keeping spoke tension equal.
It takes time and pa·tience....
Trust me, I'm not a wheel builder.Exactly. I had worked a little too quickly on the rear wheel and ended up with a couple of minor hops. Then built the front wheel and spent more time on the roundness while bringing it up to tension and it came out nice. After building the front wheel, the rear wheel weighed on me enough that I had to put it back on the stand to work out most of the hop.

Cool! Can I have them?Success, now moving onto ghetto dishing. Learned this trick from a Seth Hacks video
