I was wondering if anyone had any better ideas for uses for old wool socks as to who you could give them to or how they can be reused other than gloves and other things because I have enough stuff and want to pass them on. Weirdly enough I have patched them all in my OCD way with those thin jean patches over the holes. Size 11-14.
Buy a dog and give them to him to play with. Or mail them to Doug for his dog :)
I've been consulting Mr. Sokko on all major personal decisions for about 14 years now. Hasn't steered me wrong once.
Though he does have a penchant for malt liquor.
I stuff them with cedar shavings, tie the top, and stick them in boxes of clothing I'm not using currently. Also works in shoes and gymbags.

Get some colored thread and a needle out and repurposed old worn out synthetic sleeping bag insulation and start making SOCK MONKEYS with little backpacks on.

Maybe your nearest homeless shelter would accept a care package of socks that generally resist stinkyness?
cut them off at the ankle = baby / toddler leggins
spinning off that baby picture i guess you could cut the toes out of them and make wrist warmers or fingerless gloves?
Cheap stuff sacks that can double as a mess kit rag or pot holder.
Heat packs- throw some rice and essential oil in a sock, sew shut, then warm up in a microwave… quite therapeutic. ;-p
I saw a photo of a sock stitched inside a jacket to be used as a pocket:
