I'm not liking how this yarn is stacking the white on the legs. I am doing both legs at the same time, with both ends of the skein. Is there anything else I can do to get it to change the look? _________________ ~Jenny~

The only thing you can really do is pull it out and alternate rows or pick up a coupl of stitches for each leg out of the crotch gusset and hope that spreads it out some. _________________ Amanda, wife of 1, mom of 5

I bet that if you keep going as you are, the red/white section will swirl around the leg and then you'll start seeing the green section come to the front as you are seeing on the other leg. When that happens, the red/white section will most likely swirl around on the other leg and they will be sort of opposite, if you follow what I'm trying to convey.
I'm one who loves to see what the yarn does on its own and I like the way it's currently working up.  _________________ ~Mary, Mom to N, grandma to R (10/08), E (4/11)

Sometimes it helps to use a larger needle for the leg. _________________ Sandy Homeschooling Mom to 5 great kids

| The white and red would bother me also. You can try going up a needle size or 2, adding/removing a few stitches or alternating skeins to break up the pooling. |
