sock yarn scraps
I have developed quite a collection of sock yarn scraps. I am toying with a few ideas to use them up: make the world's ugliest pair of mis matched, multi-yarn sock, knit a scarf or hat by knitting it together with a worsted weight. I think I may have asked it before but what is your favorite cure for too-many sock-yarn-scraps-itis?

I have this problem too....I just put the little balls into a basket until I know what to do, or use them for waste yarn.
I have also knit teddy bears with them, or other similar smallish projects as they come up.

I've considered doing that too. I've also knit baby socks and hats with scraps. Wendy of Wendyknits is doing a log cabin blanket with her leftovers. I came up with the idea last night to make a Baby Surprise Jacket since they look so great with many stripes.

Check out Shelly Kang's sock yarn scrap mitred blankie, it's really fun (can you tell I'm making one? although mine is mostly handspun).
It's a wild project in small units and, for me, is a kind of memory blankie; I can point to each square and who got the socks (for example, my DMIL who has since passed away). I don't know when it will be finished, but it will continue to grow with my sock collection!
