Progress...or the lack thereof

Writing of A Diplomatic Alliance (a.k.a. Mission in Rome): None to speak of.

Grading: The pile never seems to get smaller, especially since I keep assigning homework in all my classes. Plus, I gave a test this week.

Knitting: Peace Socks #2 (the first pair I've completed) are done. These socks, which are one of Wendy Johnson's designs, were a fun knit. A quick knit, too, since they are made with sport-weight yarn. They are made with Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn, in color S264. This was the first time I'd used this yarn, and it probably won't be the last. : )

The Boy Child's socks are progressing, but slowly. I'm about two-thirds finished with the foot. Again this month, I'm finding that socks with plain feet are not as interesting as socks with patterned feet. And the larger diameter and longer length do not help.
