Jaywalking

I might finally make the Jaywalkers everyone else has made. I have lovely Lorna's Laces in Icehouse from Melissa. Variegated LL seems to be a popular choice for this pattern, and I've even found some people who've made them in Icehouse (with very different looks). However, pooling might be an issue. I usually don't mind a little pooling because it normally only occurs in the heel flap and widest part of the foot, but this is not my normal pattern. The pooling on the leg with nice stripes on the foot confuses me.
("Some" and "people" are two different links, btw.)
