Man, this is why I knit! The joy of so much colour put together in a way I would never think of (not to mention that I don't have the skill to) and that suits my senses completely. I absolutely love this wool. It is bright and subtle at the same time. It is soft and strong. It is beautiful and gracious. I watched my needles the whole way through these socks because of the colours.
I knit the socks that I want - I made them short and with cables.
And the bonus is that there is enough left over to make another pair - as long as I am happy to mix it with another yarn. (or maybe some fingerless mitts?) And even better - I have another ball of Treking in another colourway. I'm figuring out another pattern for my second favourite pair of socks that are going to be knit very soon!

The yarn is gorgeous - vibrant without being too strident. Love the little cables. :)
They are beautiful socks. I want some of that trekking. One day. Meanwhile I might steal your little cables/short socks idea, it looks perfect for summer.
Just stunning summery socks - love the colours and the design!
