I hate bobbles or popcorn be it knitting or crochet. I will omit them from any pattern I may be working on. I don't what is about them except I have detested them ever since I learned to knit as a young child. That is a beautiful skein of yarn.

lindarumsey on Ravelry
Hi Alana,
Where I stand on bobbles - HATE THEM! I totally agree that it's a love/hate relationship. I knit your Cloudy Day pattern with Classic Elite Fresco and the fuzziness in the yarn would have made them not as prominent (which is exactly my problem with bobbles) but I still couldn't bring myself to make them. Instead, I knit 5-stitch nupps in place of the bobbles - beautiful, ever-so-slightly puffy purple nupps. Ahhh... :)
P.S. I'd love to win a skein of that gorgeous yarn! My rav name is polkadotknits
Gorgeous colour yarn. I don't mind knitting bobbles. Thanks for the giveaway.
Sanrum on Ravelry.
I'd love to win. The yarn is gorgeous. As always, I love your designs, Alana.

I'm Wizzdumb on Ravelry. The Snow-capped yarn is lovely. I equate bobbles with thick crochet and macrame. But just a few bobbles in thinner yarn I think would be just fine.
wonderful episode, when listening to the excerpt from Reba's book, I thought wow she ought to write a book, lol, so even if I don't win I plan on picking it up soon.
Rem132 on Rav
Enjoyed your podcast, as always. Thanks for the giveaways - the yarn looks gorgeous, and who can resist a good book?!?

I've only ever done one project with bobbles, and I thought it was kind of fun. It was the Twisted Cowl from Malabrigo book 3. I think it looks nice in the cable pattern. Not sure how I would feel about them on a sweater though!

I LOVE the color of this skein!
wordtoashley on Ravelry
That is not a color way I would normally work in but one of my challenges in 2014 is to work outside my comfort zone. A new skein of yarn and a new book, not a bad way to start.

I hate bobbles. I have enough lumps and bumps of my own, and do not need to add more. LOL

I like to save up your podcasts until I have a few to listen to. Big mistake! I missed out on the awesome giveaway in episode 75! Have a great time in Alaska. Sounds amazing. I waffle between wanting to visit in the winter when I have a chance to see the Aurora Borealis and summer when I can have 24 hours of daylight. lol
Love your podcast! That yarn is really lovely; it does remind you of fall. Alaska sounds like fun! I'm JAGsHunny on Ravelry.
I would love to win this beautiful yarn! It would make such a lovely natural toned hat to wear. The book looks and sounds so lovely. If I don't win I will have to find out how to get it any way :) Thank you for your great contest and wonderful podcast!
About bobbles, I think that I am that non existing middle group, I do not think anything particularly about bobbles, they can be cute in the right place. One of the first sweaters I saver started is a lovely thick vintage sweater with bobbles all over, I still used it and love it, If the bobbles are allover it won't look wearied.
Her it is modeled on my friend.

wow! I have never read a book about knitting! I'd love to!
JohnSunday @ Ravelry
Great episode - your bobble mishap was hilarious! I'm not a bobble fan. I think they usually look silly, plus they're hard to knit. I would love to join you in Alaska, but sadly I don't think it'll happen this summer. Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous yarn!
shpizl on Ravelry
Great Episode! And lovely yarn. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of bobbles, I think they often are used just because they can be, and are not used because they add to the garment.
Ooh! Me too me too I want to enter the contest!

I have been to Alaska. It's beautiful. Be sure to get some quivit. It's super warm and soft but expensive so start saving now. I bought two skeins, knitted them up, and gave them away. Now I'm saving to buy a skein to knit for myself. Learn from my mistake!

Hello Alana, this is the first time I have listened to your podcast, sat and did some christmas knitting whilst I listened, perfect! I like the look of bobbles (in the right places!)I have made myself a large shawl which is covered in bobbles, I must say every bobble row was a pain - they just take so long to knit! But if the pattern was beautiful it would never put me off, knitting is time consuming and that's ok by me. Take care, Rebecca
Whoops! I forgot contact details!!
Rebecca.ward@knit1tea1.com
