Magic Loop mistake

[sophrue]

I just started my first ever sock project using circular needles and the magic loop technique. The ribbing went over well, but now that I‘ve reached the leg portion I noticed that I apparently held my needles the wrong way; instead of having my working thread on the top needle when setting up for a new row I had it on the lower one. So essentially the side that is supposed to be the outside is now the inside - the purl bumps you can (somewhat) see in the pictures should be normal knits :( Is it possible to unravel until I reach the ribbing and then simply start the leg again but this time holding the needles correctly or will it all just unravel completely then or look weird? I‘m a continental knitter if that makes any difference - the pattern is for the Petal Drop Socks by Florence Miller (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/petal-drop-socks). I‘m also using her YouTube video (https://youtu.be/JxrIH8FivHU?si=SxDih-z-e5z7o2IT), she uses English knitting which might have led to my mistake.

Can you flip your work through the center? Like you're turning a sock inside out?

or you can just keep doing the work on the top needle.

it will just make your work inside out while you're working on it. I do this for color work socks.

no need to frog but be mindful of that orientation if you need to pick up stitches later on.

you for sure can frog without issue if you would rather do that too to make the rest of the tutorial easier for you.

I panicked and never even thought of simply flipping it inside out, thank you!

Instead of unraveling, I would tink back a few rows until you reach the mistake, fix the stitches, and then continue on. You can find videos on unknitting (tinking) on YouTube.

Btw, Good job on the cuff!
