Five skeins of yarn I'm terrified to use because it's expensive and I don't want to mess up 😬

Pro tip, if you ever want to try crafting with musk ox qiviut: sign up for newsletters. I got these on sale (30% off, I think) after US Thanksgiving in 2022 and 2023.

Finished #knitting a hat tonight! #FiberArts
Many European postal services have already or will suspend shipping to the US this week.
A small thing in the grand scheme, but there go many of my fave fiber suppliers. (We import so much more wool than we produce.)
A crappy way to be forced to only knit/crochet from stash.

One question I've been meaning to ask is whether there is a term/technique for knitting colorwork in the round in such a way that avoids the jog, like you see here.
The jog comes from the fact that you're applying a regular linear pattern to a spiral, so at the end of the round, you're always starting out the next row's pattern adjacent to the end of the previous round.
Searching on "jogless joins" for knitting in the round turns up results that focus on either making the cast on border seamless, or horizontal stripes that are seamless. I've not found anything that talks about a geometric pattern like this.* Perhaps I'm not searching on the right term?
Basically, what I need is to stop and join in at the end of each row, then start a new row on top. (Since this is double knit, I can hide the yarn jumping vertically between rows in between the layers.)
Suggestions?

New instance, so posting a new intro! 
I've made it to my 40-something years old era and consider it a privilege.
I'm into slow fashion, human rights, crafting, cats, music, and cult horror and sci-fi movies. My latest obsession is with snails.
A few more of my interests:

I'm wearing my knit vest out for the first time today! 🥳
It'll be too hot by afternoon to have it on all day, but I can at least enjoy the morning. 😎
Not a fan of how the shoulders look, I think the blocking caused them to stick out like that. :(
I walked around downtown and knit for a while. I got some curious looks and smiles from people on their way to work. I can see their expression soften as they see what’s going on, a smile on their face as they continue on their way. Sometimes I feel like we need a lot more softness amidst all the chaos and darkness in our day to day. There’s something radical about being soft in a world that wants to harden you and get you to give up. My internalized homophobia/machismo used to think of that as a weakness, but I see it as more of a strength now. I think you need the balance to get through the day, it isn’t about totally ignoring the bad things. Anyway make art, do queer shit, do cute things for yourself and others, be vulnerable, be empathetic, be soft. We need all of that 💜.

It is sometimes necessary, in these difficult times, to spend an hour scrolling through clothing sites, hoping that one of these gowns is going to give you the strength to fight fascism.
