warning: knitting content in full force

well, i am finally caught up on sleep and knitting!  last night i finished my charade socks, and here are the finished products:



the pattern was great.  turned out pretty, and was easy to knit.   they were given to the recipient this morning, upon the condition that she model them for me.  

i have been working as well on the three dishcloths for the swap i am in on ravelry.  i have changed my game plan a bit, and am dyeing all three skeins of yarn with tea.  the first with black tea, the second ball with red zinger tea, and the third with green tea.  i am going to include the unused tea bags in the care package as well as a tea cup from a thrift store.  it will be a totally tea themed care package.  i  am almost finished knitting the first dishcloth:




the second skein of yarn is dyed, and the third pot of tea is brewing now.  thank goodness this swap only involves dishcloths, which take little time because i was just invited to a baby shower of a friend from church.  she is having a little girl and i am planning on knitting her a sweet little cardigan in yellow, and putting bumble bee buttons on it!
