How can I improve my form so my arms don't rub my knees?

Nosmo - I'd agree it's more likely to be your upper arms then forearms, but depending on flexibility I don't think it's too unusual - certainly I've recently been concentrating on not overcompressing, and I'm getting closer to my forearms than I used to.

I get some pretty nasty burns on my arms when I do slower pieces as well. I'm pretty sure it's nothing that unusual. My lower body is way more muscular and bigger than my upper body, so my thighs/knees are usually wider than my shoulders are when I erg. Thus the rubbing. It's annoying but I'm pretty sure my form is good since I row at college and the coached have looked at my form plenty of times.

Try getting a sleeve if it is still bad, like those basketball players use. I usually just tape my arms at the spot where I rub
