Visible jogs become frequent when you don't know the secret to knitting the perfect stripe. But just because it's a secret, doesn't mean it isn't easy to do! In this video demonstration, Judy shows you the secret to knitting jogless stripes.

When doing rhythm changes, make sure to feel the groove as you are going so you can feel you are in key with the rest of the m...

When this sort of method isn't used, often people will draw eyebrows that are disconnected from the rest of the eye.
