Seems bobbles are the recurring theme recently. For me, bobbles in garments kinda recall "Grandma sweaters", or more aptly- Donation Sweaters. I once worked at a thrift store where the ongoing game of amusement amongst employees was "Try to top the latest Most Ugly Sweater Ever". (If you have ever worked in retail, you will understand the need for small amusments) These often featured bobbles and there were some real finds, let me tell ya. They'd always give you a few minutes pause from your dreary day to ponder "Some one actually payed money for that?"
There are definitely some new takes on the little bobble that are changing my mind though. Of course, this coming from a girl who has a bobble tutorial herself, heh heh.

That is hilarious! I have been in retail for YEARS and the game we played was to pick out the most ungodly looking outfit and see who could sell the most of it! It satisfied 2 purposes...first it was fun, but it also created more space on the selling floor for the "good" stuff!
