It does mean that the cabling is "backwards" and, unless I made a particular effort to look, mistakes go unnoticed for a lot longer than would happen if I could see it in the course of the knitting. Luckily I know how to drop stitches down to fix cables, which was required more than once! I was worried that the gusset picked up stitches would look messy. When I mentioned this to Brent, he provided me with his sock pattern, which happens to look equally good from either side. I don't think that was quite the reason he designed it, but I'm pretty happy with how that went.
The only other thing I didn't consider is that the toe is also inside out, and, off the foot it looks a little odd. As you can see, the one on the left is the way I knitted it, and the one on teh right is the way I'm wearing them.
I've still got 150 grams of yarn left over, and I'm loving this fade, so I've cast on a hat, using the same principles. I'm hoping that, because the decreases are not paired it won't have the same effect. Otherwise it's back to the drawing board for the crown.
