It's one was to really tell that they are handmade. Of course, I like pooling too, so maybe I am not the best judge. Great colors!! And, just as an aside, if you finish them and still hate them, I would be more than happy to give them a loving home, flashing and all ;) Call me strange, but I really like the striping and the flashing!

It won't be striped the same, but it won't flash. Or do short row or afterthought heels. If you want to get rid of the flashing, rip back and alternate rows from both ends of the ball (2 strands).

Ilove that sock...great pattern, seems I have overlooked it. THAT would have been a great striped sock for dad...next pair. Ok, he is just the cutest!

The flashing was going to have to happen because of the differing row length around the gusset. Just remember that if you're wearing the socks with shoes or walking around stocking-foot in them, the flashing won't be visible. The cuffs look wonderful! Don’t give them away!

Personally, I don't mind the pooling/flashing... I've gotten used to it when knitting heel flap & gusset socks, and I like yours :) You could always go for a short row heel, that way your st count wouldn't change and you should (theoretically) keep the striping action all the way down the heel and foot. Good luck! Adorable baby pics!!!

He's cuter every time I see him! And that vest looks good on him, even if it is a little big. As for the sock... you know I'm a pretty laid back knitter, I go with the flow, and whatever happens in variegation happens. But... that is a lot of pooling in one area. I wouldn't call it hideous, but since the rest of the sock is so uniformly striped, it does kind of stick out. Does the type of heel you did (what kind is that, by the way?) allow you to rip back to it and start again? Were you already using yarn from both ends? Oh my god! He’s cuter every time I see him!
