7 March 2012:

Updated Row 2 of Jog Trick instructions to be clearer (see both notes below). 

Old Instructions: Row 2: Insert your R needle tip into the right leg of the stitch just below the next stitch to be worked, raise it up and place it on your L needle tip, adjacent to the first stitch of the next round. Now, knit the first stitch of your round together with the raised leg of the stitch below, as if to k2tog.

New Instructions: Row 2: Insert your R needle tip into the right leg of the stitch just below the next stitch to be worked, raise it up and place it on your L needle tip, adjacent to the first stitch of the next round. Now, knit (if beginning a valley) or purl (if beginning a welt) the first stitch of your round together with the raised leg of the stitch below, as if to k2tog (valley) or p2tog (welt).
