I Like Bobbles
I finished the Tree square:
And I started another bobble-y square. I really don't understand why you all don't like bobbles. Then again, I'm the one who made a crazy insane intarsia blankie and had fun doing it. So clearly, I'm not 100% on my knitting rocker.
This is actually the second time I made all those bobbles, as I somehow didn't pay attention to the fact that there was a cross on a wrong side row, not to mention some other strange errors I had made. (Not to mention the fact that the pattern said to use larger needles which, astonishingly, resulted in a larger square...) Now, though, it seems to be going well. Right size, right twists, right crosses, lovely bobbles, and about the right size.
Which is especially impressive given that I knit all of this after coming home at around 11:30pm, drunk off my ass, having had an entire bottle of wine at dinner... and vodka, too!
Please pardon me while I go sleep it off...
(Random PS: the colors of all these squares is the same... the photo of the tree square in this entry is rather on target.)

Quite possibly, the being drunk off one's ass helped. I know it'd help me if I were bobble-ing... of course, drunk knitting is never an option with me. LOL!

I love the popcorn stitch though. It's on the sides of the DNA square and one or maybe two others. Now that's addictive!
