I have not solved a cube blindfolded yet, though I can solve it with old pochmann while looking, so maybe this wouldn't work, but...
At least for Old Pochmann (centers and edges) if there is an odd number of permutations there is a parity. Say you memorize edges first, realize there is an odd number of permutations to do, so you swap two corners in your corner memorization.
For example:
Scramble: F R2 F R U2 L2 R' D' B L U' R D U L D B2 F D F2 L2 F2 R D2 U'
(Eric Limeback's way for memo)
Edge Memo: "VJH XMRPX TLS"
Corner Memo: W(DBL-corner) , B(UFR-corner), B(DFR-corner), G(UFL-corner)... etc.
I notice now, that it would be easier to start with corners and adjust edge memorization rather than corner because of the strange sticker swapping of the Old Pochmann edge algs.
Is there any reason, why I should NOT do this parity fix in memorization?
EDIT: Oops, I either solved it wrong or memorized it wrong, but I think I messed up somehow, but not because of the parity fixing in the memorization. Don't assume this example to work.
EDIT2: I think my memorization doesn't match my scramble either
