Several years ago,
Lornas Laces carried some yarn called "peppermint mocha." I loved the name, and I faithfully was reading a blog by a woman who also loved the name and the yarn. I had to buy some. Once I got the yarn though, I didn't really like the color combinations. I know I bought two skeins of it, and I seem to remember even knitting one sock with it, that I abandoned....because I just didn't like the color combinations. I'm on a quest this year to use up at least some of my sizable stash, and so my unloved peppermint mocha is now a cute, little pair of baby
socks. I haven't decided for sure who they're going to. I'm thinking about giving them to our neighbors' new baby, but I think I need to include a little cap too, and I'm not sure I have enough yarn.

Very Cute! What a great way to use up some yarn that doesn't really work for you too!
I'm on a quest to use up my yarn stash. Every year it goes down more. Maybe this will be the year I actually reduce it to a reasonable amount. Those little socks are a perfect use of the yarn.
It's perfect for baby socks! You could do a coordinating hat in a solid color. I have the same issue as you. I love how colors look in the skein, but when they are actually knitted up, they don't look nearly as good. I am thinking of using those skeins as "skein art" in my next decorating project. ;)
Your little socks are adorable ! Those colors aren't that bad. The baby socks was a good idea. Will you be making a matching hat ?
