Me on the mechanical bull. On my first try, I was on for all of 4 seconds. On the second try (shown here), I made it to about 35 seconds. Putting an arm up in the air seemed to help, but that thing can really whip you around!
And last week, I finished a hat! This one is notable because it actually fits me! See?
This pattern is from Exquisite Little Knits by Iris Schreier and Laurie Kimmelstiel. In the book, it's done with Karabella Aurora 8 and a Blue Heron Beaded Rayon - I subbed an orphan skein of Koigu Kersti for the latter. I think the seed stitch makes it stretchy enough to fit easily. It's done on pretty large needles, too - so this could be a good pattern for holiday gifts.
That's all for now - I'm off to enjoy the last gasps of the holiday weekend. Ciao -

That's a scream that you rode that mechanical bull. Perhaps you've discovered a hidden talent...
