I haven’t actually seen the book but I will because it looks very interesting. The Glass Quarterly Hot Sheet posted a story about this book, New Technologies in Glass 
by Vanessa Cutler. It’s to be released in August of this year. Vanessa was one of the presenters at BeCon last year up at Bullseye. She talked a lot about waterjet cutting of glass, which is her medium in glass. She talks of that as well as other technologies in her book. I’m looking forward to getting a copy when it’s released.

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.
