Leftover Sock Yarn Ideas

1. Make a Bee's Knees sweater for a baby or small child.
2. Make baby socks.
3. Make a heart sachet.
4. Make gift cards. Knit a mini swatch, sweater, scarf, or sock and attach to the front of a card.
5. Make earrings (or pins).
6. Make Barbie clothes.
7. Make bookmarks.
8. Make a hacky sack.
9. Make patches for holes in jeans.
10. Make Christmas ornaments.

Anybody have some ideas to add?

I bought a Weavette Loom just to use up sock yarn bits. When I have enough squares, I'm going to make them into a blanket.

I had seen those looms on Lolly's blog and thought they looked like fun.

Ooohhh! Great ideas! My additions would be headbands from Fixation or small change purses.

I love the Weavette idea!

I was going to suggest the Knecklace and Flora too. Clearly, I too am very fond of Knitty.
