Sometimes all it takes is a simple name to inspire a design. Chateau, the colorway name of Kolláge Yarn's Sock-a-licious Yarn, made me think of lazy days on the porch of a beautiful southern home, with columns similar to those of Tara, sipping sweet tea.
A Southern home perhaps because the yarn arrived with a postmark from Alabama, home of Kolláge Yarns.
...Alabama...lace...columns...chateau...home...sweet home.

A very special thank you to my fabulous test knitters Jocelyn, Gaylen, and Madeleine! Tricia did a fabulous job on the impromptu photo shoot! And to Susie at Kollage for donating the yarn for them to knit with!
Happy Knitting! Its time for Sweet Tea!

The colorway reminds me of an iced coffee, just before it is stirred...
Lovely, as always! I'll have to put it in my queue, right behind Cotty and Dotty and...
So pretty! I agree with Channon - like my morning iced coffee - I'll drink it on the front porch of a large southern mansion. Mmmmmm.
This is another of your patterns that could work for a man, too. It could be feminine or masculine, depending on the yarn. I would think that would be hard to design, but you manage to pull it off! Talent.
Another great design!
I just love that color! Those socks are wonderful!! Another fantastic design!! Brava!!
I love the heels on these. The yarn is fantastic. Thanks for letting me help. g
I like what I see! Perhaps this will be my next sock for me...:-)
Congratulations on another design! I love how this pattern is not overly masculine or feminine - which means it's *perfect* for both!
Gorgeous design!! Another one to go in my queue ;)
Just cast these on with Sock-a-licious in colorway Blush. Gorgeous design!
