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.

    I’ve got a couple of tops now knitted from sock yarn. I have pretty sensitive skin especially around my collarbone and neck and can’t wear most types of wool there, so the merino / nylon combo is great as it’s so soft and non-itchy. Bonus is that the thin yarn makes for a lovely drapey fabric, although of course it does take a lot more time than knitting with something bulkier. Fave one that I wear all the time is my Kala from Pip & Pin, will dig up some photos later after work!
