Jogless Stripes

Ok, so my last post lamented the unsightly problem I had with 'stepping' when making colour changes on my stripy monkey.

Not any more!

Many of you suggested the Jogless Stripes tutorial at NeedleNoodles.com, so I tried it and BINGO! 
No more stepping. (And it's so easy, too)

Jogless stripes

I began my jogless striping method from the yellow round (see arrow) downwards and look! Virtually seamless colour changes.
Genius, I tell you. 

Thanks to all of you who made comments and suggestions- you peeps really make my day.

Xx
