Ravelry KAL - Outlander Group - Voyager Socks - Mystery KAL

This is my first attempt at several new things: knitting toe-up socks, doing a knit-along (KAL), participating in a mystery KAL (getting the pattern bit by bit), and beading (which will come along as we get to the leg and/or cuff). You may be able to see the beads off there to the right. The color is 'champagne' and do complement the burgundy yarn. I have guessed the pattern in the middle are skulls, not something I'm completely happy about as I'm not "into" skulls, but they do tie into "Voyager" by Diana Gabaldon and represent the pirate ship Bruja. I've considered trying to alter the pattern so they won't look like skulls, but perhaps buttons, but since this is a sock made up of a bunch of firsts, I decided to leave it alone and just go with it!
