I've been on a knitting cull recently.

You know that feeling you get when you're completely bored of knitting after constantly making presents for other people for months in the run up to Christmas.  The stress of not knowing if you're going to finish everyone's presents on time was just too much for me.  I have knitted one hat since Christmas and one mitten.  I really need to get around to knitting the other mitten otherwise these are kind of going to go to waste!  

I am so annoyed at myself for forgetting to take pictures of my knitted presents for Christmas.  I knitted a gorgeous marble scarf for my brother and he's gone back home before I remembered I wanted a picture of it.  I did knit my friends bottle sweaters though and I have a picture of one of them.  They are just adorable and I love that there are button holes so you can actually decide how buttoned up you want it to be!  You can find the pattern in my previous posts!

I am currently in the process of applying for new university courses for the next couple of years and it's stressing me out so much.  I will knit new things soon! My mother is knitting an aran patchwork blanket at the minute so I might upload a few snaps of it when she has more done!

I wrote a pattern for Gryffindor Mittens yesterday!

I must say they turned out fab!  That's another Christmas present ticked off the list!

Happy Knitting!
