You will never know how much I needed to hear you today. I have been beating up myself for wanting to spend time knitting instead of things I think NEED to be done. I’m almost 80 and I say screw it, I’m knitting today..the world will have to wait
Almost 80? I think you've likely racked up years of doing things that (might) need doing instead of hobbies by that age, so you've definitely got at least a few days of "vacation time" for knitting! _Especially_ if you're a parent, pretty sure that means you're due at least a couple solid years of hobby time!
The only thing more nerdy than knitting 3 pair of socks in a week is sitting here watching someone else do it. Like almost on the edge of my seat with only the tiniest bit of my brain to wonder how hard it would be to find vampire diaries....❤❤❤❤❤
I wanted to share how encouraged I am that even you, as accomplished a knitter as you are, knit in fits and spurts. I love the transparency you have in your vlog! Believe it or not, it is empowering to some of your followers.
In my opinion, your are the ⭐️ of knitting podcasters! You are so funny and brilliant...and free to watch in your environment...they charge for this on TV😂 - LikeGuylaine
I have timed myself. It takes me almost 3 minutes to knit a single round on a sock for me. I did the math, it takes me 7 hours to knit ONE sock. I don’t think anyone can EASILY knit 6 socks in 7 days. I absolutely love your socks!
I didn’t want this to end. The colors I didn’t think would work were gorgeous! And the bed jump…the best way to showcase socks I’ve ever seen! Two thumbs up. Or three or four.
I looove all six of your socks! ❤Very early one Saturday morning in 1991 I was buying four pocket tees in the Gap in Regents Street, London when Princess Dianna walked in! She and I were the only customers in the shop! The shop assistant nearly fainted. Great episode. Thank you. Can’t wait for my copy of the Sock Project to arrive. 🌷
Summer, You’re such a bad influence-I love it!! So I’m casting on a 4th pair of socks and cueing up Vampire Diaries right now. Had I planned on being a functioning adult today? Yep, but I can’t remember what I was going to do…. Maybe wind yarn for my next pair of socks?
I had to laugh - when you were knitting sock #2 and changed the striped sequence between the leg & the foot I thought “No! What is she doing?! Thanks gonna look awful!” And then you showed the finished sock & that one is my favorite!!! 😅 Guess you know what you’re doing! And that’s why YOU have a book & a podcast & I watch them - because YOU’RE the expect! I’ll have more faith next time. Keep up the awesome knitting!!! -Erica ❤
U cannot imagine how much I loved watching this!..I burst right out laughing to my dog surprise so many times throughout this video!....man i can relate to sooo many things that you said...lol...Your socks look wonderful by the way.....loved this!...❤ 🇨🇦
You are really fun! I’m a 67 year woman. Married 48 years. Two children and 4 grandchildren. My knitting has been interrupted over the years from surgeries. 6 shoulder surgeries (3 each side). , elbow surgery, 7 hand/wrist/finger surgeries. I had really serious surgery in November that took 6 months to heal. I about to Kitchener the toe on the second sock of a pair I started since my surgery. I am so excited . Then I get to cast on a sock for daughter.i am so happy. I love your podcasts. Ijusy found you and you are delightful.
I listened to this post while knitting a sock and felt like I was sitting with a friend, chit chatting!! I did take a break and ran up to Barnes and Noble and bought your book!!!" The sock project", I can't wait to try a few of the recipe's!!!!
Love love love! You, your socks, your creativity, your nervousness to drive other people’s kids, your obsession with vampire diaries. I am here for it!
so all the content was great, as usual, but i really appreciated the comments about being moody. some days I am just moody and nothing changes that. its nice to hear that others go through that also. thanks for sharing
Just learned to make classic vanilla socks (cuff down basic gusset heel) last Aug ‘23. I’m on my 15th pair of socks. I only make vanilla socks (with the exception of a scrappy sock) so this video is really helpfull ! Thanks for the video and ideas ! I can’t stop making socks- great travel project. I was taught to make socks by a lovely 82 year old lady using bamboo double pointed needles from a Clark and Coates vintage pattern from the 40’s-50’s. Never goes out of style !
I am a so glad you started making videos again. I’m so glad I found your channel. And I’m really excited because your book shows up in the mail tomorrow.
I loved seeing you driving around with the debate team… I live in a tiny village in Oxfordshire England 🏴🇬🇧and will probably never get to see America 🇺🇸 so please never think oh no one wants to see where I live!! I do ❤ I’m loving your videos about to start another one.. well after over ordered your book x x Jane
Your videos are so lovely! I have purchased and knit your sock patterns for YEARS, I love them, they are my go-to recipes. Thanks for the tips, thanks for your enthusiasm, socks are the best 😊
Good Morning Summer ... I bought your book "The Sock Project" the other day, Your designs are beautiful. Currently, I am knitting the Camellia Socks. I chose them because I wanted to learn how to read a charted lace pattern. You have the chart as well as the instructions written out which is a great learning tool. Thanks so much.
How she casually says “And I can stockinette without looking”, while I’m over here struggling to just knit with regular, not-a-bus-full-of-high-school-kids distractions. You go girl
I think was one of my favorite of your videos. Have I mentioned how happy I am that you are making these videos? Because I am 😃. They are interesting, informative, entertaining and enjoyable. Every episode is different and I always learn something new! Loving the socks! I had adult braces too, it was definitely worth it and you will love the results. Have a great day!
😍😍😍😍 OOOOO Summer these socks are gorgeous and fun. Love all the colour choices you made with these 3 socks. All the best with the braces situation. I had them years ago when I was in high school and at the end of it all you'll be so happy to have gone thru all the pain. Well I hope so. Look forward to each and every episode.......THANKYOU !!
Summer, I really enjoy your videos. You're just too much fun to hang out with. Loved you jumping on the bed in your fun new socks. As I post this, I haven't been notified of any new videos from you. I really hope all is well and good at your house. Hope to see you soon. ✌️💜🧶🧦
I just have to say…I simply love your videos. Sure, one of these days I might actually knit a pair, but I’m ok if that never happens. What I love about your videos is how it makes me think past my own boundaries in choosing color combos, to not be afraid of seeing when I need to start over, and how to do it with keeping my sense of humor. Thank you Summer!
Hi, Summer. I’m really enjoying your blogs and the socks. I have become a serial knitter but my go to comfort knitting has become socks. I love wearing hand knit socks. After waiting FOREVER my The Sock Project book finally was back in stock and I received it just a few days ago. It is just great! Congratulations.
You are so amazing. Always stepping up to scary things and giving yourself the credit you deserve. I am knitting socks while I watch you, so inspiring. Love your videos and how enthusiastic you are.
I seriously love your videos, and I can't begin to imagine how you can visualize the colors working together so well! They always look amazing when the socks are completed.
I’m so glad you’re back here! I enjoy your podcasts so much. You are inspirational, and just plain enjoyable and fun to watch. Your book is awesome, of course! Keep it coming! 🧡
As a beginner sock knitter I love seeing the “what else” I can do with what I am learning. 🤩 I have your book and I’m just finishing the first recipe, so looking at the afterthought heel gives me the heebie jibies. I can see the use and opportunities it provides, but cutting the yarn 😮🫣🫨 Loving this podcast & good luck with the braces.
Omg I love you!!!!! I love the socks you come up with, love your adventures with kids and hubby! You are a breath of fresh air and I look forward to watching each and every episode!
You're funtastic! I sometimes go back and rewatch/listen to your podcast and laugh along with you. I'm waiting for my book to get to my lys. Have a blessed week my friends.
This my first video of yours and I’m a fan! Just what I need to bring interest to the sock patterns that I already love. Kudos for adult braces. I’m a nurse and your senior self will thank you for the functional bite
At the end when you were trying them on I was like, "ooooh, that one is the best", but then you'd put on the next one and that was the new "best"! I love them all, you clearly picked the right career path because you have such a knack for color and design!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knitting with us! I have had so much fun watching you and your authenticity about all things in life. You have definitely reignited my sock knitting fire!
I’m a relatively new fan of your channel. I’m an experienced crocheter just now learning to knit and soaking in all your sock wisdom. (Working on a basic sweater first.) This is my fave episode so far! Besides the motivation to dive into sock knitting, I could relate to soooo much here. I’m also an introvert who volunteered for school events and then dreaded them. One trip ended with me being the only adult in the back of a bus full of hormone laden middle schoolers just waiting for me to doze off so they could start their shenanigans. I was wide awake the entire 4 hour drive till we arrived home at 3 am. Also, I just got my adult braces off in February after 3 years. Those first few weeks were so weird and PAINFUL. I couldn’t imagine eating anything harder than oatmeal ever again, but it gets better and things like eating sandwiches with a knife and fork or swishing out the crumbs with your drink quickly become normal. It was absolutely worth it. Congrats on taking plunge. 😁 Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, and knitting in real life.
Summer, you brighten my day whenever I watch your podcast. I love your book, and I am addicted to knitting socks. Thank you for bringing me such joy. I look forward to seeing you every week.
I love watching you create your amazing socks! I love your podcasts! I laugh, I shake my head agreeing with you, I feel your fear chaperoning teenagers! You brighten my day! Thank you!
Summer, thanks for letting me spend some time with you. I enjoy you, and your videos. I finally got your book and I need to get some funky, simple socks on my needles.
I love your podcasts. They are funny and lots of fun. The socks all turned out great. The Orange and white were my faves. I love your dogs, I have 3. Hope your braces don’t hurt too much. Have a great week
The braces are adorable! And the socks are all amazing! I never thought I’d be a sock knitter but made a few pairs last year and I’m HOOKED! Your book is magical inspiration! ❤
Love, love, love everything about this video! Thank you for all the sharing and laughter! You definitely inspired me to start some smashing socks combining interesting colors and pattern!
Hi five from a fellow speech and debate mom! I *feel* you on having to rank sweet kids last in a room. So hard! And so weirdly energizing. I love hearing everything they come up with. I’m always exhausted and blessed by the end. I am knitting your hibernal socks and watching this 😊
OK, you are soooo funny to watch, super energetic and sparkly ! ☀Now I want to rush to my stash and find the most colorful combo for my next sock project (and a chunky rib cuff will be in it ! :D) Thanks a lot for your video ☀
So fun watching you knit and talk about socks! I love your enthusiasm. Poor things is weird but not disturbing. I can’t say I enjoyed it, but I do appreciate the production of it and the acting is phenomenal.OH and there is absolutely nothing wrong with basic tees. You’ve got to wear what you like. That’s it.
I knitted my first pair of socks in January this year -been knitting for many decades but was always afraid of socks! I did your basic sock pattern and my second sock pattern was also yours the Ode to Barbara socks. Know I am completely addicted but I have to knit them two at a time on long circular needles or I always loose steam for the second one in the pair and it feels like a chore. Problem solved with two at time! I'm on my 6th pair now and I'm hooked! Thank you!
Wooow Summer, I'm so happy that you've got braces now! Maybe it's an awkward thing to say but I got mine when I was 30 after quite an interesting surgery on my maxilla and it changed so much for my mental health (besides the looks of course). I hope you'll go through this happily despite the discomfort and occasional pain. Also loving your new socks but I'm mostly here for the person you are! 🧡 All the best!!
I learned how to knit socks from your tutorials a long time ago, and I’m so happy to have your podcast to look forward to every week now. I preordered your book, and it sits on the coffee table right in front of me. The photography is amazing, and I love all of your commentary in the recipes. And congrats to your kids for making states!
Thank you, Summer! Loved everything about this episode! I dont know which pair of socks I liked the best...they're all amazing and so inspiring! So many things I can relate to...the day after your trip "introvert hangover" for sure! Glad you were able to get the rest you needed... The braces can be rough but you'll get through...❤
Absolutely stunning socks, I am in the uk and eagerly awaiting the delivery of your book 😊. I am so glad I found your channel I so wanted to knit socks but thought no I couldn’t possible knit a pair, but you certainly have changed my mind. I have downloaded your basic pattern and can not wait to get started 🎉.
You’ve inspired me! I’ve had a speckle yarn sitting waiting for the perfect socks. I did my four stripes, and started on the sock today. It looks great!
As someone who has gone through having my teeth straightened a grand total of 3 times, I was giggling along with you on your new braces! They're so awkward at first but you get used to them. Also, so inspired to try helical knitting!! The coral orange and white combo with mint heel is amazing!!!
Love, love all 3 socks and your amazing week. You inspire me, and have inspired me to go in a quest to knit the perfect socks this year. Loooove this episode. Can’t wait to get my book 💖💖💖
I just found you and am in awe of your sock designs! You are so creative and inspiring. I'm going to try the magic loop method and put more color in my socks too. I commend you on the braces - that's not easy as an adult, but your smile will be so beautiful when you are done. Bet you fit in more with those teenagers now, hehe!
❤❤Love to color plan!!!!the socks with the colored rib🎉🎉🎉so fun!!!i find the ribbing so boring! Not now!! What a busy time!!! Enjoyed it so much!!!! Elaine 🏠 Love ur book!!!!!

@@mackenziedesire7515 LOL! When I became an empty nester, I decided that the world owed me several years of good nights sleep 💤!
@@mackenziedesire7515 You go, girl! You’ve earned your knitting time.
The only thing more nerdy than knitting 3 pair of socks in a week is sitting here watching someone else do it. Like almost on the edge of my seat with only the tiniest bit of my brain to wonder how hard it would be to find vampire diaries....❤❤❤❤❤
All 8 seasons are on HBO Max!!!! 😂
hahaha Karen!!
Have your book and love your color choices ( I ordered the color wheel you listed), but you forgot to link the weave in ends as you go video. 😢
Fun, fun, fun! You’re fabulous. Your socks are incredible and your book is amazing! Love Linda, UK 💕🧶🧦
So true! 😂
Wait….Dave makes you food, brings it to you AND winds your yarn? You are so lucky/where did I go wrong? Love your videos ❤😘
I wanted to share how encouraged I am that even you, as accomplished a knitter as you are, knit in fits and spurts. I love the transparency you have in your vlog! Believe it or not, it is empowering to some of your followers.
Summer! Fellow introvert here, so many laugh out loud moments and relatable experiences. Thank you for keeping it real.
In my opinion, your are the ⭐️ of knitting podcasters! You are so funny and brilliant...and free to watch in your environment...they charge for this on TV😂 - LikeGuylaine
Look at us. One day we are sneaking behind dumpsters to smoke. Then we are nerding out on yarn and hand knit socks 🧦 🧶 😂
This is me. 🤣 Sock Cult United!
Hahaha really felt this

Just learned to make classic vanilla socks (cuff down basic gusset heel) last Aug ‘23.
I’m on my 15th pair of socks. I only make vanilla socks (with the exception of a scrappy sock) so this video is really helpfull !

Thank you so much!!
You are so amazing. Always stepping up to scary things and giving yourself the credit you deserve. I am knitting socks while I watch you, so inspiring. Love your videos and how enthusiastic you are.
Haha, Hereditary was great :) Definitely not for everybody, though!
Thanks for the video!
I seriously love your videos, and I can't begin to imagine how you can visualize the colors working together so well! They always look amazing when the socks are completed.
I’m so happpy you came to UA-cam! I enjoy your tutorials and most of all enjoy your giggle! Keep up the good work!!
I’m so glad you’re back here! I enjoy your podcasts so much. You are inspirational, and just plain enjoyable and fun to watch. Your book is awesome, of course! Keep it coming! 🧡
I agree, guard what you watch/consume! Hence, watching you knit basic socks, whilst I'm knitting 😁 Anne 🦘
If there were knitting video Oscars you would get one. Funniest knitting video ever loved every minute😂

Love, love, love, every one of your episodes. Your socks are so fun and happy!
Thanks so much for the inspiration. I was struggling with leftovers and now I'm ready to roll:)
i could watch you knit socks all day. Loved this episode! I can relate to your braces journey - had mine in my late 40's. It was worth it in the end.
Thank you so much for sharing your knitting with us! I have had so much fun watching you and your authenticity about all things in life. You have definitely reignited my sock knitting fire!
They’re all so fun and cute. I think my favorites are the colorblock stripes… but that mint heel with the orange stripes! Chef’s kiss 😄

The braces are adorable! And the socks are all amazing! I never thought I’d be a sock knitter but made a few pairs last year and I’m HOOKED! Your book is magical inspiration! ❤
Love your new book and your podcast. As soon as you tried on your 1st sock it was an aha moment. You are the one showcasing your socks in the book!
Had a ball with this video. I knitted vanilla socks along with you. Had a great time following you around OK Thank you.
Love, love, love everything about this video! Thank you for all the sharing and laughter! You definitely inspired me to start some smashing socks combining interesting colors and pattern!
Bought your beautiful book, and although a garment knitter I am now motivated to knit socks as an art form… because of you! Thanks!

You are a Sock Genius!!! Received your book yesterday and can’t wait to get started on some COLORFUL socks!!
Love Love Love All 3 New Socks! Fabulous and Fun. All the Best with the new Braces xx❤
So fun watching you knit and talk about socks! I love your enthusiasm. Poor things is weird but not disturbing. I can’t say I enjoyed it, but I do appreciate the production of it and the acting is phenomenal.OH and there is absolutely nothing wrong with basic tees. You’ve got to wear what you like. That’s it.
I knitted my first pair of socks in January this year -been knitting for many decades but was always afraid of socks! I did your basic sock pattern and my second sock pattern was also yours the Ode to Barbara socks. Know I am completely addicted but I have to knit them two at a time on long circular needles or I always loose steam for the second one in the pair and it feels like a chore. Problem solved with two at time! I'm on my 6th pair now and I'm hooked! Thank you!
Summer, I love your home design! I’m feeling so inspired and can see how your eye for color has impacted all areas of your life ❤
Those socks are great! I think the striped ones are my favorite.
I’m currently knitting your pattern mermaid avenue. I love them ❤
The striped green red pink are ultimate How the Grinch stole Christmas socks and I’m in LOVE 😍
Wooow Summer, I'm so happy that you've got braces now! Maybe it's an awkward thing to say but I got mine when I was 30 after quite an interesting surgery on my maxilla and it changed so much for my mental health (besides the looks of course). I hope you'll go through this happily despite the discomfort and occasional pain. Also loving your new socks but I'm mostly here for the person you are! 🧡 All the best!!
I learned how to knit socks from your tutorials a long time ago, and I’m so happy to have your podcast to look forward to every week now. I preordered your book, and it sits on the coffee table right in front of me. The photography is amazing, and I love all of your commentary in the recipes. And congrats to your kids for making states!
Thank you, Summer! Loved everything about this episode! I dont know which pair of socks I liked the best...they're all amazing and so inspiring! So many things I can relate to...the day after your trip "introvert hangover" for sure! Glad you were able to get the rest you needed... The braces can be rough but you'll get through...❤
Absolutely stunning socks, I am in the uk and eagerly awaiting the delivery of your book 😊. I am so glad I found your channel I so wanted to knit socks but thought no I couldn’t possible knit a pair, but you certainly have changed my mind. I have downloaded your basic pattern and can not wait to get started 🎉.
I love all of your socks, your colour sense is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing❤
You’ve inspired me! I’ve had a speckle yarn sitting waiting for the perfect socks. I did my four stripes, and started on the sock today. It looks great!
Just found your channel. Love it. I’ve been admiring how beautiful your stitches are. It’s practically machine knit looking. Very nice.
“Guard what you consume..”!!!! I totally agree and have been trying to explain that to my teenage children 😕
I love the mint heel and toe!
As someone who has gone through having my teeth straightened a grand total of 3 times, I was giggling along with you on your new braces! They're so awkward at first but you get used to them. Also, so inspired to try helical knitting!! The coral orange and white combo with mint heel is amazing!!!
Love, love all 3 socks and your amazing week. You inspire me, and have inspired me to go in a quest to knit the perfect socks this year. Loooove this episode. Can’t wait to get my book 💖💖💖
I absolutely adore you vlog format Summer. And your book. And your patterns!!!!
I just found you and am in awe of your sock designs! You are so creative and inspiring. I'm going to try the magic loop method and put more color in my socks too. I commend you on the braces - that's not easy as an adult, but your smile will be so beautiful when you are done. Bet you fit in more with those teenagers now, hehe!
Okay, I've officially entered my Season of Striped Socks! And I'm loving it ❤ Thank you, Summer!!
I'm currently knitting my very first pair of socks. LOVING your book and really enjoying your podcast!
