Since I frogged a skein to add the appropriate twists to align itself with the pattern, I wanted to say a few things about how it turned out. In a nutshell, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it.
Why I love it: It is always nice when it looks like the cables grew out of the ribbing.
Why I hate it: Sometimes it grows out of the ribbing, turns right for a single stitch, then turns left for a cable, or worse, knits straight on and just looks akward; kinda like the knitted rib tripped over a stitch and didn't so gracefully recover.
Why I love it: It adds a cool effect when two knit sections of rib split like a Y and a new knit grows out of the dead center. It looks awesome, and makes me proud to be a geeky knitter.
Why I hate it: It never fails that the above mentioned awesomeness is surrounded by the above mentioned 'fake right, go left' unawesomeness.
This makes me wonder if I should have just formatted the ribbing to line right up with the pattern (why does ribbing have to be even anyway?), and left in the awesome parts while doing away with the unawesome parts.
Hmm.... to frog, or not to frog?
