Itching to knit...

I'm sitting here in my painting clothes looking at knitting blogs, procrastinating going back to painting the kitchen, wishing beyond hope that I had a little bit of sock yarn so that I could cast on and knit something. I want a pair of socks, for me not to give away. I'm wishing that I had some semi-exotic yarn, not too exotic, just something that can't be bought at Joann's or Michael's.
