If you’re like me, and like most knitters I know, you’ve probably bought a skein or several of sock yarn
(let’s not talk about other kinds of yarn right now, OK?) with no real idea of what you were going to do with it.
You can always knit more socks, right?
But sometimes, maybe, you don’t want to knit socks. Weird, right?
So what are you to do with all those luscious single skeins?
Sheep Among Wolves has collected a great bunch of patterns for all sorts of things you can make with a single skein of yarn, none of which are socks.
There are scarves, shawls, cowls, boot toppers, baby clothes and more, all of which you can make with just a bit of yarn.
Looking for more sock patterns to knit? Check these out on Etsy.

What you left out is that you can double fingering weight sock yarn and use it to great effect as a dk weight/light worsted machine washable yarn for baby blankets, afghans, and many other knitted items. I stumbled on to this because I had lots of sock yarns that I purchased because they were beautiful. Now, I am using them up like crazy.
