I'm Not Gonna Lie

... My first time working from a chart I had to pull out the first 6 rows because I didn't realize I'd have to go back and forth across the chart since even though it's symmetrical the cables go in different directions on each side.  Other than that I am quite happy with how my first sweater is shaping up.  In three and a half inches I get to start the arm holes!  So another week and the back should be all finished up.  I'm thinking this could be done by April, hard to believe that a sweater will probably take less time than my first skirt.

I'm having a lot of fun knitting when I go see shows.  It's a good conversation starter with the people sitting around me and even if I'm sitting next to people who don't want to talk it stops me from being bored before the show or during the interval.  Met a funny group of older ladies at La Soiree last week, they think it's a shame I've seen so little of England - I do too actually.  Also, one of the usher guys (in a fedora) and I had a lovely conversation about knitting and he assured me that the show would hold my attention and I wouldn't get much knitting done and I assured him that I never knit during a performance.  How rude would that be?  So knitting at another magic show this week and a cabaret style show a week from Friday, so excited.

Oh, and here's my progress...
