Where to knit next?

I was thinking....I need to come up with some more goals for locations to knit, or activities to do while knitting....in order to come up with new ones, I feel like I need to list off the ones I've already done. I may have missed some....Any suggestions?
  • while hula hooping
  • on stilts
  • on a paddle board
  • in a paddleboat
  • in a canoe
  • next to waterfall
  • at the dentist
  • at the optometrist
  • at my wedding
  • at other people's weddings
  • on an elephant
  • on high ropes course
  • while rock climbing
  • while jumping rope
  • while doing yoga
  • on an escalator
  • in the water (in a floaty)
  • in a tire swing
  • hanging upside down
  • while swords were being juggled past
  • in a tree
to try or revist:
  • on rollerskates
  • on iceskates
  • in the waterfall
  • more yoga
  • under water
  • on a trampoline
  • near a beehive (in beekeeper garb)
  • more playground 
  • slacklining
  • on a mechanical bull
  • on a carousel horse
  • on a rollercoaster or other amusement park rides

World Wide Knit in Public Day

Ok, so perhaps my extreme knitting was not quite as epic of an experience as I hoped for....but I did have an enjoyable day and got some fun photographers. Would have been nice if I could have had someone more experienced with my little camera around because some of the photos are so-so....but I had a blast and I think the people seeing me got a kick out of it too.

Warmed up with knitting and walking. No photos, because that's easy peasey. My first real deal of the day was knitting on a paddleboard. Kneeling was no biggie...but standing was an interesting matter....your legs are making constant, tiny adjustments and by the time I got back off, my legs were tired!

I got some yoga and obstacle course time in....

Had a dickens of a time finding the big jump ropes but I did find them at the end of the day, and was able to prove that YES, I can jump rope and knit at the same time. Not sure how many stitches I did...but I did them. And I didn't hurt myself.

I do have a couple more photos to share but I will post them at another time. I hope you enjoyed this...and if you have suggestions of what else I should do while knitting, please let me know!

no spoilers

I don't want to provide spoilers to all that I am going to be trying to do this week. Just suffice to say that there is an event that happens to coincide with World Wide Knit in Public Day....so I plan to be a busy extreme knitter on Saturday.

In the meantime, I'd like to ask you...where would you like to see me knitting? Or what should I try to do at the same time as I'm knitting?

Do you have a favorite extreme knitting photo, either of mine or others? If you say you've never seen others, check out my board on pinterest. I'm trying to make some sweet pictures readily accessible there.
