I've received a few requests for clarification regarding the jogless stripes tutorial that I made a while back, so, here are a couple of videos demonstrating the technique.
If you would like to check out the original tutorial, it's available here:

When working in spirals:
When working in joined rounds:
Not familiar with what "jogless stripes" are? If you've every tried to make stripes while single crocheting in the round, you might have noticed a "stairstep" pattern which shows up where you switch colors. These techniques seek to remove, or at least minimize the effect.
invisible join in the round, not changing colors
I need help to join rows. I am making a baby cap (for winter) and do not want a seam to show. I'll be working in a single color. Can you help me? Thanks, Marianne.
If you are working in joined
If you are working in joined rounds, there will always be a slight seam running across your fabric. There are a few techniques meant to minimize this effect, but, for the most part, the only way to completely get rid of the seam is to work in a spiral instead of joined rounds.
Perfect
That was exactly what I was looking for - thank you for your very clear instructions and video!
Thank you!
Just what I needed :)
Finally!
First of all, THANK YOU! With all of the videos, blogs, and tutorials online, you would think it would be easy to come across a video teaching this. NOT THE CASE. This is a great, easily understandable, effective tutorial and I can FINALLY switch colors nicely. Just a suggestion (which you may already have a video for that I haven't found), could you post a video showing the first step in incorporating a second color? I guessed and it turned out okay, but I'd love to know how it's really done! Thanks again!!!!!
