I also worked the stripes with intarsia across half the sock. I.e. after the heel, I went down the sole making the three stripes, and then did a short row toe and went up the top of the foot and front of the leg with three more stripes, attaching it to the first half as I went. I really enjoyed doing it this way and plan to make my own like that, once I choose the yarn and get to it.
My own? Yes, these socks are a gift so even though I love them so much, I will not be keeping them!

fantastic-looking socks. I found your posts by looking up intarsia in the round, and went from your whistler sweater, to your circle socks and now these. I'm a brand new knitter, just started a month ago, knit a pair of socks (yup, I started with socks, because that's *why* I started knitting) and now I'm on my second pair of socks. I want to figure out how to do intarsia in the round because I want to design a pair of socks that will need it, I think. Anyways, I love love love these stripey socks and the circle socks you made. Also, your description of intarsia in the round is the first one I read that made sense to me. Your many photos and the writing was very comprehensible to me. Thank you.
