Christmas knits

It has come to my attention that I haven't posted anything knitty in a while! So here are a couple of things I have made recently.
Firstly, a hot water bottle cover, which I finished just two days ago although it was supposed to be a Christmas present. Oops!

 

It's dark blue on one side and light blue on the other but the photos have changed the colour a bit. I'm happy with the cable side but the other one went a but yucky along the edges when I changed from knit to purl :( Oh well, it's functional and that's what counts!

Next is a scarf which I knitted for meeeee. I made a few with the same pattern for Christmas and they knit up really quickly and don't use too much wool which is nice. You can see another one I made for Kerry at her blog. It's in a picture with a little bunny I knitted for her a couple of years ago. I think I have improved since then! Hehe

 

I'm currently knitting a pattern from this book, just for fun.The patterns are all soooo cute! I got the book for my birthday last year but all I've made from it so far is a few nano hamsters. I aim to make all of the patterns at some point, and an army of hamsters! Next blog post I'll hopefully have a finished item to show you.

In other news, I was rejected from Nottingham vet school. Not too surprised because they are a bit biased against graduates but I would have liked at least an interview first! RVC was my first choice anyway, so it just means I have to do super good at my interview next week and hopefully get an offer. Eek! I'm very very scared. I hope I don't mess up.

Oooh, also I had a haircut today! I've been putting it off for ages so it's quite a relief, lol. I won't look quite so scruff at interview now. :D

That's about it for now, bye!
