What is your favorite thing to make with sock yarn, other than socks? I enjoy knitting socks, but I don’t enjoy wearing hand-knitted socks (blasphemy, I know!)

Unfortunately, I’m not a big wearer of shawls either, though I will knit one occasionally.

I’m looking for ideas for my sock yarn stash. Ideas, patterns, anything welcome.

    That’s a great username!

    I have a ton of sock yarn, but not nearly enough for a sweater. Any recommendations for successfully blending colors, especially when almost none of them are solids. I love the idea of sweaters, but I think I’d struggle to match colors to make something that works.

      Blending colors definitely gets tricky between non solid colorways. The trick is to photograph the yarns side by side in grayscale. If there is not a lot of contrast between the colors in grayscale, then the colorways will just muddy themselves in a pattern.

        Thank you. I’ll try that.
