creative projects to use up (worsted weight) yarn bits?

calling all knitters & crocheters who happen to read this here blog!
what's your favorite way of using up your random ends of yarn? particularly your worsted weight yarns? can you recommend a favorite pattern or several patterns that are just the ticket for yarn oddments?
i have a gazillion little leftover bits of wool and wool blend yarns, the remainder from the myriad of projects i've completed over the last six (!!!) years. they are up there in the photo above. and that's only a small fraction of what i have...it's merely the tip of the remnant yarn iceberg, if you will.
so far, i've put them to use as a wavy crocheted blanket, numerous cowls, a random stripey kids sweater, and a few more things...
i can think of a few more ways i might want to use it: to make striped legwarmers, striped mittens (for me and maybe a bunch of other folks!), more cowls, a top-down raglan fitted cardi for moi, a granny square or circle blanket for p., and, hrm...i'm still thinking ha!
anyway, i'm putting a call out to you, to ask for help for genius ideas to do with all this yarn. can you help??

maybe it will help more than just me!

do share!

guess who's got a column in BUST?

(the cover!)

(the column!)

(my bio!)

i've got an article in BUST magazine this month...well, it's sort of a column...it's the LOOKS column! i am so very honored to have been asked to do it; the LOOKS column has been one of my favorite features in BUST since i started reading the mag in the early 2000s...i have torn out and saved tons of the previous featured girls & their interviews over the years!
BUST is, hands down, one of my favorite magazines, i am always delighted when it lands in my mailbox. how incredible is it to get the chance to WRITE the LOOKS column?? pretty awesome. a dream come true actually.
the first interview for the column is with the absolutely gorgeous and unique tamera ferro, of verhext.com, who has been a long time contributor to wardrobe_remix (since close to the beginning, i think??). i've always admired her style...there's absolutely no one like her in the universe (especially style-wise!) and i felt she deserves the recognition and accolades! doesn't she look stunning??!! such a creative gal.
thanks tamera! thanks BUST!
