...knitting bobbles sucks.

Knitting bobbles with yarn that is grabby, splitty, and black? Kind of "black hole" levels of suck.

(I have decided to Cheat. The bobble instructions as written go from 1 st to 4 sts to 2 sts to 1. I can get a close enough look by doing the crochet hook method - 1 st to 5 sts to 1 to 1 - and it is still awkward but actually possible.

I've never once knit bobbles, so you're made of hardier stuff than I am just for trying. Cheating in knitting is totally acceptable anyway, right? The finished project is what counts; how you get there is creativity, not cheating. :)
