I have an excellent excuse

And the excuse is ... I am out of sock yarn.  I blame Ravelry for reminding me that I'm out of sock yarn.  That, and the fact that socks are so much better for the train than something with long needles.  So I went to the Sweet Georgia website and joined their July, August and September yarn club.  As a message from the stars, signup was open until June 30th.  Perfect.  I have always wanted to join a yarn club.  Now I have.
