Are you a fan of the Oscars? Do you like the dancing? Or should they just stick to the awards? Are you having a viewing party? Here is a GREAT idea to keep everyone’s attention for the 5 hour extravaganza. Set up an Oscar Bingo Card. (This is good way to engage the parents with young kids who have not actually seen a current movie this year! ) Twenty Something Text Dummies did this at a party she hosted! I want to be friends with HER!

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.
