Quite the dazzlers aren't they :)))
The yarn is Zauberball and is dyed to gradually progress through the colours.
While this is a really nice effect, I thought I'd make them stripey by knitting one row from one end of the skein and the following row from the other end of the skein. Typically I make my stripes thicker. But this has a fun effect with the single rows of each colour. For the cuff, heels and toes, I stick with working from one end of the skein so that they appear as a solid(ish) colour, instead of continuing the stripes.
I like that the socks don't match exactly... but clearly belong together.
Another pair to tuck away in the Winter Woollies box.
Oh yes, I didn't follow a published pattern for these. Just winging it using my basic sock approach and a size 2 needle. I like the simplicity of the basic sock for travel projects - my hands can stay busy, while I can zone out and relax.
Have you been taking any fun trips?
What are your projects of choice when you are travelling?
Wishing you a lovely summer,

I'm a fan of zauberball socks, and yours look fantastic. I have learned to like sock knitting a lot based on the fact, like you said, they are great for portability. I take public trans a lot, and sock knitting is perfect for this.
Love those socks! Amazing that you can wing a pattern! I take little paper pieced quilt triangles with me on trips, although I won't have many of those this year!
these are gorgeous! i love the thin stripes. i don't have the patience for multiple strands of yarn so i always appreciate it when someone else knits them.
i have yet to knit with zauberball but i'm seeing lots of projects & it makes me wanna head to the yarn store! great socks! hope you're having a great summer!!!
I love these socks!!! Such a great idea to knit from both ends to make striped sock, such a cool effect!
