brightshadowsky, can you explain how to do this...I know I'm probably making it a lot harder on myself then I need to (don't I always?), but it just won't compute for me and I can't seem to find something more laymen then this:

Bobble increase
K1, yo, k1, yo, k1 all into the same stitch.
*Reverse knitting and work these 5 sts.
Repeat from * 4 times.
Pass second, third, fourth and fifth sts on RH needle over last st made.

Thanks


Never mind, just stumbled upon a video showing how to make them, brilliant!

ETA: never mind alltogether, since I apparently won't be using the bobbles at all. Just to clarify, I'm making a hat, no pattern, just making it up as I go along. I was thinking about putting bobbles in, but they don't seem inclined to appear. No, I'm not having a problem with them, they just don't want to be in the hat. It's a muse thing ^_~. Plus, this way I should be able to wear it either way. It'll be a simple thing, but eh, that's ok. I can continue to experiment with patterns any time, learn new stitches and all that jazz. Right now, I want a hat, because it was cold out there this morning ^_~

"As for doing things, train yourself to close your eyes"

Sorry Karin, but that is a very stupid remark to make, specially coming from you. You know what it is like for me in everyday life.

You saying I need to train closing my eyes would mean that I would go through life having my eyes closed all the time, because my eyes affect me with everything, not just doing things like knitting.

When a female phsygologist mentioned that to me years ago and I told you what she had said, your reaction was the same as mine is to you now. You said that she was a very stupid, ignorant woman to make that remark because it just isn't doable nor would it be effective.

I will just have to go on as best as I can with the restrictions my eyes give me, that is the reality for me. It isn't easy and it is very tiring always having to focus 100% on what your doing all the time, but that is the way it is. I have to accept that my eyes are the way they are, which isn't an easy thing to do I assure you, but unfortunately that is my reality. I can't slack or things will go wrong as you well know..... reminds you of the time I fell out of the hole in the attic, the wine pouring I mentioned earlier and other incidents that happened in spite of doing my very best. I don't pour things in the living room anymore since that time, but in the kitchen on the worktop, it doesn't matter when things go wrong there.
So please, think before you say things like that, because hearing/reading things like that do hurt you know, specially coming from your own daughter, who should know better.

ya know...with regards to knitting (which was the ONLY thing I was refering to, thankyouverymuch), clsoing your eyes isn't such a stupid idea. I know perfectly well that back in the day you used to be able to sit and knit without paying any attention to it at all. And I also know that blind knitting is do-able as long as you train yourself to do it.
I am in no way saying to go through life blindly. I am just saying that some things you can train yourself to do, with some changes to how you used to do them.
If you don't like it when I say something like that, tough, that's how it is. I know that it isn't easy for you with your eyes, I do remember that. It's a handicap, and like many other handicaps out there, there are limitations. However there are also things that can be done, either by outside help, or by training yourself.
