I promised another reformatted pattern and here it is....
Queen Alice was originally designed for Woolgirl's Alice in Wonderland Sock Club.
As Alice's story begins in a daisy field, so too does this sock pattern. The cuff is made up of daisy stitches, and from here, the sock tumbles down the rabbit-hole, comprised of cables.
But in Wonderland, everything is a bit different. And with these socks, the front and back are both a bit different too!
Enjoy the journey!
I've been wanting to have these socks knit up in a solid color, such as this lovely Sanguine Gryphon Bugga! I've had the colorway Adonis Butterfly set aside for awhile! I have to thank Jana for doing such an awesome job knitting these up so that I could have the pattern reformatted! Thank you Jana!
Another thank you to my mom for being an awesome sock model!! Thanks mom for being so patient with me and the gazillion photos!
Now, we may not have had a white rabbit available for the photo shoot, but my mom's dog Maddie was quite happy to take part!
Isn't she a sweetie?!

I want to thank Jill for doing a fabulous job with the pattern reformatting! She really makes this easy and I hope to have most of all of my patterns reformatted in the next month or two!
Speaking of Jill, her website has a fresh new look! Go check it out. And she also just finished knitting her Summer Wind. She looks fabulous in it, don't you think?

Ooh, that's way purty!
Is that seed stitch INSIDE the cables on the front? Very nice :0)
I like this pattern even better in a solid! Great yarn/color choice.
Your mom's dog is adorable :-)
I loved knitting this pattern up!
This is your most majestic sock yet. Very complex -- like Alice!
