I want to know what you do with your left over sock yarn.� And I want a recommendation for a fair-isle pattern. I prefer NOT to steek at this point.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian, a knitter and a blogger. I've been knitting since December of 2000, and I knit all. the. time. I knit professionally for several years, but have become so busy that I only work on consignment now. I have also taught several knitting classes. I do all my knitting with two sticks and some string, and do not even own a knitting machine. I also crochet quite a bit, and used to embroider, cross-stitch and needlepoint. I have other non-fiber related hobbies as well.

That’s tough! You’ve done a hat. A scarf, wrap or blanket would be easy but they have a steek. You’re pretty much left with mittens or socks. There really is no reason to be afraid of steeks.
What I want to do with my leftover sock yarn is make little sock Christmas tree ornaments (I know… a little silly, but fun).
I would also consider making the cuffs of a fun yarn, and the rest out of a matching solid.
Or kids socks (maybe as I just mentioned)
I also just got a 4″x4″ Weavette loom, and it only takes 7 yards or so (although I think sport or dk weight may be the ideal weight, I haven’t yet tried doubling the yarn… but I did felt one of the squares I made, and that was kindof fun).
