Not easy taking pictures of your own leg, but here it is, in its full length.
I like the way the striped patterns shapes the form, a very Norwegian'ish way of doing it. Socks like this (without the skulls, but with the black and white patterns of roses and stripes) are originally used by men with the folk costumes, which we call Bunad.
The sole of the foot is striped, too. I added the stripes on the toes to bring the pattern back.

You find the pattern on Ravelry. It is called Selbudeath (the original rose is called Selburose normally:)), and it is free!

I like your new socks! I think the 3 skulls on your toe are nice. They look like they are ready to talk to you. They have a lot to say. ;-) The socks are wickedly beautiful.
What fantastic socks! I love them so much! I wish I could knit like that!
