I re-taught Jimmy how to knit tonight before I sent him down to get ready for the show. He figures there is lots of help backstage. Hopefully I will get a picture & show you his progress tomorrow.
I started a set of fingerless gloves in pink - not what I wanted to knit but what I had yarn for & there is a young lady of our acquaintance with an upcoming birthday they might just be perfect for.
I met the sweetest little gentleman tonight at Camelot tonight, he started to speak to me about my knitting. He guessed I was making socks because I had 4 needles on the go.
He got talking about the shows he had seen this week & how he was looking forward to seeing Camelot again, he saw the opening of the first run on Broadway when he was a struggling young actor.
He had lots of great stories of shows he saw & was in. After 3 years in bit parts & ensemble roles off off Broadway he decided it wasn't what he was meant to do & got a job with a "little" company called IBM. He is now retired & travels to see all the shows he still loves.
He was so excited to find out Jimmy was in the show & so happy we are supportive of our boys trying this career, he never regretted the 3 years in NYC & wishes still his parents had been supportive when he was younger.
