crocheted bobble stitch

I posted a video a couple of days ago about a knitwear designer who made a collection by hand using the crocheted bobble stitch.  I've just finished knitting a cardigan and had some leftover yarn.  It's such a beautiful color and yarn that I decided to use the leftovers to make myself a cowl scarf.  YouTube as always, was a great source and I found this  very clear and easy to follow demo of how to do the bobble stitch in crochet.  I have done plenty of bobbles in knitting but I find it a huge pain to knit bobbles because you have to keep turning your work back and forth as you work the bobble in rows of knit/purl/knit, etc. (because I never do just normal small bobbles, I have to make everything extra dramatic and big).  I will of course, have to put my own spin on this as I get more comfortable with the stitch and I'll post pictures of my work as I go along.  Enjoy.
