I keep reading that stranded colour work is more often done in the round, avoiding the purl stitches, but I’m not really seeing juch on whether or not this causes a jog in the colour and I think I understand but not 100% sure.
In 2 colour would there be no visible jog in the pattern because the background is staying the same colour and the contrast colour sstitches always sit above the previous round so ther is no visible jog?
But if there are multiple colours and no single background colour, is that when a colour jog will be visible at the beginning of a round. For instance switching background colour creating a straight or zig zag stripe, would it then jog?
Is this when the beginning of the round stitch should be slipped to bring the colour up into the new round and a marker put in to indicate beg of round has shifted?
Is this correct or I’m on the wrong track?
I would prefer to knit flat, I don’t mind the colour purl, but in my practise piece some colours are left at one end and I can’t pick them up until I do another row, this wouldn’t happen in the round.
Thanks
