Inside, outside, upside down???

[catcook]

When I do magic loop my right side is on the inside, is this right? Because then I turned it and put the right side on the outside but then the pattern was messed up. What am I doing wrong? I have watched every video and several instructions and still end knitting insideout! This is driving me nuts, I haven't slept most of the night laying there trying to figure out what I could be doing. Please help so I can get some sleep!!

Any circular knitting has your right-side on the outside.

When i first started doing this sock using ML it was inside out. By that i meen that the tube that was forming was pointing away from meand the WS was on the outside and the RS was on the inside (knitting stockinette).
all i did was push the tube through the needle so ti was going toward me, wothout changing the position of the needles, and thus changing it so the WS was now on the inside and the RS was on the outside. because i wasn't changing the needles the stitch pattern didnt ahve to change at all, i just carried on knitting as i was, but now wasn't knitting it 'inside out'.
