Dancing vs knitting which is winning???

Yesterday I wrestled with balky computers, irriating cd players, knitting 24 rows on a "quick baby sweater" while waiting for things to do what they were supposed to do. I'm using a skein of Red Heart I had laying around, and I'm not too happy... don't know if it's the yarn, the pattern, or my gauge or what....possibly a combo of yarn and gauge. We did two nursing home shows one of which was bedeviled with a cd player with a short in it or something, had to hold our breath just right to get it to play the music! But the 2nd one was fine.... and at both shows the residents were pleased to see us and appeared to enjoy our performances. Two more shows today.
