Magic of Britain Socks

I started these socks mumblemumble months ago with the intention of knitting them while I was on my trip to England with Rachel. I wanted something that would encompass the different qualities of the UK - the myths, the nature, the ancient symbolism. I found this yarn in my stash, and it had the colours of earth and sky and stone and water, and then I found this intarsia pattern called "Celtic Spiral" which pretty much sealed the deal. In my head, I was going to do all kinds of knitting while over there; the reality was that I didn't do quite as much as I had thought. I did work on these socks on our Stonehenge Day, though the only photo evidence of that is when we were at Old Sarum. These are awesome socks; they go perfectly with jeans; the yarn is not overpowering yet still interesting; and the celtic spiral detail adds a certain magic (even if it does make them a little tight getting on and off). I love them.
