I'm pleased with the way they're turning out so far. I can't help but wonder if I couldn't have managed to squeeze another half-rep of the berry pattern at the top of the mitt. Maybe I'll give it a shot when I whip up mitten no. 2, because (you know,) I won't be tired of bobbles and just wanting to get the thing over with already. On that note, I think I'll play it by ear and see how I feel when I get there.
Another fibrey thing of note is my ball of Frankenyarn:
This is 50 grams of my various handspun yarns that have been meticulously chopped into smaller bits and then joined together to make (eventually) One Crazy Sock. There is also 50 grams more of this stuff here to make Another Crazy Sock, but it has not yet been Frankenyarn-ified. If I had to splice together another 24 balls of yarn last night I think I'd have gone a bit funny.
Now all the Frankenyarn needs is a sock pattern to show off its charms. This should be a fun decision. We'll see.

Boobles!!
I love the Frankenyarn. It is going to be a gorgeous sock. I suggest plain stockinette or something wavy like feather and fan or a variation like Marigold.
I can't wait to see the socks you come up with. 24 balls of yarn, yikes that is a lot of ends.
The mitt is neat, I've done bobbles before, not easy and there is a lot of them, considering the size of the project.
