Watched a sock form from what was once a sheep: http://www.oregonlive.com/living/index.ssf/2011/07/portland_sock_summit_race_from.html
Wore a silly hat:

Bought (and was given) some luscious yarn:

Learned a bunch of new things (1 new toe-up cast on, 2 new heels, and a bunch of little tips to make my knitting easier/faster/funner). (Sorry; hard to photograph ejumacation.)

Sat on a train for 38 hours (19 hours each way, SJC to PDX and back): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI8Jp5kPxWs

Hung with my buds, who were also wearing silly hats:

Danced in public with about 600 other people: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOUL_S6tVr8
