Last colloquium of the semester

We are officially done with classes for the semester - we still have finals grading, and I'm still working on my non-class work (which is mostly what I was trying to do this semester anyway), but There will be no more CMS/colloquium until the second week of January. This past Thursday, we had two colloquia - our department is hiring a new professor next year, so we've had extra "special colloquiua" (a.k.a. job talks) all the time the last few weeks, and one of them bumped CMS.
This is the first purple sock, which is now done except for the grafting. I just barely had enough yarn. Hopefully the second sock will work out just as well.
