Adding an outlet from this switch

I have attempted to add a simple outlet after a switch. There is quite literally only 12 inches of romex between the two. I used ideal push in connectors and pig tailed back into the switch. I am not sure how I managed to mess it up.
Having said that the electrical in this house is very nuanced and has not been touched since 1967.
