I am deeply envious that you learned to knit from a self-described Gay Quilter while you watched cheesy movies. The coworker who taught me to knit was waaaaay less fun. :)

I can't believe you want to knit sweaters. I've been knitting for something like ten years, and I pretty much never want to knit sweaters. Knitting socks is a heeyooge development for me - I have traditionally been wildly impressed with myself if I managed to complete a scarf.

1/7 done!! Congratulations!
