Hiding the Jogs


I have one of my "purse" socks done. By that I mean the socks that live in my purse. They are my emergency knits. I never leave home without them.

They are also rescue socks because I rescued them from the frog pond. They used to be Jaywalkers. Now they are striped. By using a tweed and a variegated yarn, I discovered the secret to jogless stripes that doesn't involve any stitch manipulation at all. The jogs are there. Look closely. The tweedy bits and the polka dot yarn do a pretty darn good job of camouflaging them, don't they?
