Hi Vanessa, I do move my start point for each colour by a couple a stitches each time.
Why do you do this? I’m making the basket now. Love it. But I didn’t see this commet until now.

Makes sense. I will post a picture in revelry. I love the standing sc and the invisible join. I can use these in any pattern, right? The colors in this basket are helping me through a Michigan winter. Enjoy your Aussie summer☺
I might give this a try. It’s been a long time I crochet. Thanks for sharing.
