70% sweater back

I took knitting with me tonight when we visited the city family crew. It was brilliant! I know it's a bit dicey to knit in public, or so I gather from debates about it on knittinghelp, but it sure was good for me even if it may not have been as good for others. This image was taken before an evening of fine dining, lots of knitting.

11-12 minutes a row. 18.75" and 20 rows equals 4" It's a painful sport for the immediate gratification folks.

Edit: Apparently things are improving on the speed front. I hadn't checked in a while, but I did today. 8:10 per row. 30% better. I'll take it. I feel so much better... not!
