Good luck at your new job! I also have a remote programming job and I knit all the time in meetings. The kinds where I just have to listen and not say anything.
Good luck with your new job! 😊 I’m knitting sleeve #1 on my diamond in the rough sweater. I always think I’m a slow knitter. But I’m knitting the 3x which is significantly more stitches than a smaller size. I should be able to finish in a week. Which is great considering I have a job and other responsibilities. And I’m also knitting socks on the side lol. You’ll do well! It might take a couple weeks to find a groove but you’ll get there!
