Favorite sock yarn projects? (self.knitting)

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.

How about stuffed animals? Even if you don't have kids in your life, you could donate them to a kid focused charity. Ravalry has a pattern filter by yarn weight if you haven't checked that out.

I’ve never made stuffed animals, but that’s an interesting idea.
