Big a** pearl stitches

What to do whith uneven knit and pearl stitches??

Look how the stitches on the left sock in the middle of the foot are way different than the right! That is because my pearls stitches are way looser than my knits. I corrected this on the right sock by pearling continental style , that seems to make it all even. Another way to bring consistency to this problem is to use a smaller needle for pearl rows. I could have gone back and fixed the left sock- but I have chosen to embrace these imperfections.
