stripping or pooling???
I finished my first pair sock of Firestarter and am quite happy with it except the fact I have no idea if the yarn stripping is pooling or not. With no experience at all with multi coloured yarn, I am clueless as to what the overall outcome should look like....
I have to say that either way, I am going forward with the next sock although the trick would be to get the both socks to match. Who knows, I might end up with not so matching socks!
I am also on the second sock of the sock of kindness. This one is an easy TV knitting except for the notorious Size US#1 needles am using. If it wasn't for my fantasy of at least knitting a tiny percent of this sock collection, I would give it up now!
Knit on. Happy day!
Stripping. I have a good example of pooling on a Thank You hat I recently completed. It was worked in the round and the colors pool vertically. When you finish the other sock, what you may end up with is fraternal twins. You've done a superb job!

If you like it, I don't think it matters whether it's striping or pooling. The sock looks great!

It's striping on the cuff and heel flap, but on the foot of the first sock, there's some pooling happening, but it looks great.

I'd say striping. Either way they look fabulous.

Beautiful yarn and sock. It looks like striping to me.

Oh, my! Somehow I missed Cauchy's sock collection over at Flickr... Very impressive indeed. :)

It's definitely striping, and it's gorgeous! Is that STR in Banded Agate? I have some at home waiting to become something lovely - I'll have to check out the Firestarter pattern.
