Happy Thanksgiving to my US listeners!

Knitvent Update:
This week’s pattern is the Juniper Socks. Here’s the description:
The Juniper Socks were designed for wearing while traipsing over a carpet of pine needles in the snowy forest or just toasting your toes in front of a crackling open fire.
Made for yourself or for a lucky loved one, the cosy, unisex Juniper Socks knit up quickly, with a lovely textured rib stitch inspired by the beautifully rugged needles of a juniper bough, and a fun contrast colour toe and heel for a little traditional charm. If you’d like to add a little more colour, the ribbed cuff looks wonderful in a contrast, too! Knit from cushy DK yarn, these socks are a perfect way to stay warm when the cold winds blow. Imagine them tucked into your boots or just slipped on to cushion your feet from the chilly floor when you first wake up on a frosty morning.
This pattern is written in the Curious Handmade Percentage Checklist style™.
A chart for the textured pattern is included in this pattern.
The sample was knit with Blacker Yarns Tamar DK
