As mentioned, the Jupiter socks are done! And on the 29th, so within my self-imposed deadline.
The pattern is Vanilla Latte, and it’s a nice easy pattern, good for busy yarns like these speckles.
The yarn is Knit Picks Hawthorne in “Jupiter”. It’s my first time working with the yarn, and it’s a nice decent, soft, squishy yarn. If feels a little more substantial than their Stroll, and the yarn has a bit of a pronounced twist.
Other than the fact that is was on sale, I’m not 100 % sure why I bought it because they are definitely not my colours. And I’m not that fond of speckled yarns.
But it is perfect for someone on my Christmas list, so they will go into the gift box! It’s always nice to get a start on the big day early!
I like them! I’ve used a bunch of Hawthorne yarn and it holds up well.

I’m a speckled-kind of person; much of my clothing is stippled.

I think they turned out great and you finished in the nick of time to make your deadline. Good for you! I’m turning the heel on a pair of socks for the Christmas box. I like to get a start early.
Blessings and hugs,
