That is a head scratcher. It would seem to make logical sense that both are worn facing the outside. They are best seen on the outside, and on the outside they aren't rubbing against the other leg while you walk. I can bet this person wouldn't wear a skein dubh on the inside for that reason..
1:00, 2:00, 3 fingers from the center.. or 2 fingers for spindle shanks.. I think if they are even, on each side, and in a band everyone has them uniformly oriented, its good.
I dunno, I still prefer to have flashes centered on side of the leg.
The thing that makes the least sense to me about flashes.. is that makers did not switch to Vel-stretch 12 years ago. Elasticized soft side velcro, with a wee tab of sticky side velcro. Its a heavier duty, and superior elastic to the bra hook nonsense, easier to make, and easier to adjust..
