2Nd Attempt & Back Of Stitching Not Uniform ?

[Macca]

just finished my second little project, just doing basic wallets to practice, the stitching from the side I push the awl in looks ok (angle wise I mean, overall it still needs a lot of work, but that will come with practice, hopefully)

see below

but on the back, there are stitches where they are not angled, looks a bit strange

heres a closeup

im getting quite a few on the back like this

now as I've just started I am dropping the needles quite a lot (trying to juggle the awl & 2 needles while avoiding stabbings is a challenge)

Could this be the reason ? I do try and always put the second needle under the first on the back, just wondering if me being clumsy is causing this or there is something else going on ?
