One of the products Streuter Technologies makes is for stained glass so here’s a tutorial on how to use it. I know I neglect the stained glass artists out there and my apologies to all of you. Hope this helps make up for that a little bit…their product is No Days Glaze and it assists with the leading process. The project looks simple so if you’re interested in trying something new this could be for you. Oh my, a little poetry today.

The Journey Hat – Where Wild Horses and Wool Meet – Knitting Pattern
I honestly fell in love with this Journey Hat the moment I saw those wild horses galloping across it—it just spoke to something in me. As someone who knits a lot (and I mean a lot), this pattern was a refreshing change of pace. It’s beautifully designed and incredibly clear to follow. You can tell it’s been thoughtfully written.
I used a mix of natural wool tones with a soft charcoal for the horse silhouette, and the final result? Magical. The colorwork is rhythmic and satisfying once you find your groove. I wouldn’t call it beginner-easy, but if you’ve done some stranded knitting before, you’ll be absolutely fine—and the payoff is so worth it.
It knit up quicker than I expected, and the finished hat has a lovely, sturdy-yet-soft feel. It made a gorgeous gift for my horse-loving teen (though I’m secretly making another for myself!).
If you’re after a meaningful, eye-catching knit that’s a little different from your usual fair isle, this is the one. Highly recommend for any horse lover out there. Makes a great gift too and dare I say Christmas is not that far away.
