Changing colors in circular knitting creates a step, or "jog" in the work. Since rounds of knitting do not nestle on top of each other like stacks of plates but as a spiral you can do something to minimize the interruption made when a new color is introduced. I found a great video tutorial on jogless stripes here: http:// knitpurlhunter.com/ blog/?p=602 In the directions below | added jog alerts as a reminder as i know it's so easy to forget when you are working the pattern :)
