You know the mitre-square pattern from Mason-Dixon?
I’m using up all my extra superwash wool sock yarn to make a lounging blanket/afghan thingy. Just solids, no stripes — except for self striping sock yarn. I’m averaging about 3 – 4 blocks per left over ball of yarn — and I have huge feet.

I plan on knitting mini socks (like the ones on the key chain) with the left over yarn and then tie onto a grapevine wreath and hang on my front door. For Chirstmas, I will use the red and green yearns.

When I am not at work I’ll read the rest of the comments and get some other ideas.
