That looks great! Love how the colors are fading into each other.
TAAT toe up is my favorite method for socks! I noticed you have two separate balls - how do you normally split them? Do you ever run out of one before the other? I have an irrational fear of cutting the ball to the wrong size and not knowing what to do after.
I also do it with a kitchen scale. I weigh the whole ball and then wind two smaller ones based on that weight so I have two (almost) identical ones in weight. I also try to keep an eye on where the colors change so I start both balls with the same colour change if it is self striping.
