Didn't really make any progress last night...instead I spent most of it working (or attempting) problems in Hilbert Spaces and preparing my recitations. Oh well...stopped by the store tonight and picked up some size 9's so that I can start the hat to go with my winter set when I get a chance. Am now still working on the same slipper...it's going pretty slow cause it's so mindless, I think. But, I should be able to finish it tonight and at least cast on the other...provided I can slay (or at least fatally wound) the Hilbert Spaces beast. Wish me luck!
