You’re an absolute JOY to watch and “hang with”.

@geriattrique7141 5 месяцев назад

I’ve said it before, but it was your video tutorials that taught me stranded colourwork! Thank you thank you thank you! Also, you have theeeeee best eye for colours! You are adjusting awesomely to braces. I had them as a teenager and one of my best friends got them as an adult like you. The time will just fly by! You are such a delight to watch on a Friday morning! Have a great weekend!

I like to save the labels of all the socks I knit each year. I put them into a ziplock bag and write the name of the person I knitted the socks for on the label. This practice helps me remember what I knitted for each person, and it also includes the care instructions in case they forget. Gosh, I just love your videos. If you have a Vampire Diaries hangover when it's finished I recommend watching The Originals.

Love your videos... I've bought all the things to start knitting more socks! I saw something about using mohair in the heels and toes of socks to make them a little stronger & last longer... what do you think about that?

@junefrederickson5570 5 месяцев назад

Hi Summer: Here’s a thought - tuck the ball band in your cake while winding and there it would be when you use the yarn in the future. I look forward to your Friday videos - Thank you! 🧦

@colleenwilson6869 5 месяцев назад

I knit socks more than anything else but was starting to get bored of them until your book and videos came along and inspired me all over again! Love this one!

@jeanned1240 19 дней назад

I find it SO helpful when you show your process for choosing colors. Auditioning them by holding them next to each other in front of the calendar, adding a little wiggle, gosh it really brings me along with your thought process. I’ve begun doing it myself and it has made selecting color combos way more fun.

@JaneScully 5 месяцев назад

Good Morning Summer ... It always makes me happy to open up my computer and see a new RU-vid video from you. Of course I bought your pattern but first I am trying to knit all the socks from your book - The Sock Project. I love the fact that you include the names of the different yarns which you have used to make the beautiful socks. You have a great eye for color. Also, thanks for the info. about the needles. Enjoy your week!

What an amazing way of using speckled yarn! I have some troubles knitting with shorty needles. How do you hold the needles? Do you have the longer needle in the left or right hand?

@suewilson2829 5 месяцев назад

Love your videos!! I'm a new listener/watcher and love your sense of color. Keep bringing them on! Going to try the shortie needles for color work as it's difficult with magic loop. I didn't know why though until I watched your video! Thank you!

@karyncook4291 5 месяцев назад

Summer, Your socks are beautiful! I stumbled upon your channel earlier in the week, I watched last week’s episode and immediately bought your book, which I absolutely LOVE! I’ve been knitting socks for years, and I always have a pair on my needles, they make fantastic take along projects and I wear my wool socks every day, unless it’s over 75 degrees, but if I’m hiking and it’s 80+, I’m wearing wool socks. I’m looking forward to knitting your patterns and trying your tips. BTW, I can’t remember ever laughing and smiling so much, as I do when watching your videos; I’m making my way through your other videos and they’re so much fun and you’re projects are so inspiring. Thank you!

@Originallyadressmaker 5 месяцев назад

Same here! Watched one video, ordered the book (pre order here in NZ and delivery mid June) and then have been watching all the back episodes and videos I can….i feel inspired again to get back to knitting socks, I had kind of fallen out of love with t(em but Summer has given me so much inspiration! 😊

So glad I found your channel last fall. Im upping my sock game. Wouldn’t you know , something is happening in my wrist…. Not carpal tunnel. Been there done that. I’m seeing the hand Dr next week. I’m knitting anyway and taking otc pain meds and resting it. I tried last spring to up my sock game and something interfered with my knitting. I’m bound and determined that 2024 I will knit more than 2 pairs of socks🧦🧶🧦. Love watching you knit and love all your color combinations

I love your videos!!

Did you hear us all yelling for the pink variegated. Those socks are so fun. I'd make a ton in different colors, too. Great way to use variegated yarns. ❤ The porch looks so pretty and cozy. I'll be right over with my knitting. LOL.

An idea to save the label, when you are cakeing the yarn, put the label in the middle of the cake

@mirjammolenbeek 5 месяцев назад

Love your video's, loooooove your colour choices for the socks! Ordered your book. Will have to wait for a few weeks before it arrives to The Netherlands, but it'll be worth waiting for. Thanks for your happy video's!

@stamdl Месяц назад

I had to laugh when you talked about getting too close to the camera, I’ve been hesitant to mention it! I move my iPad back a little sometimes. 😂 I love these socks - as soon as I finish some UFOs I’m going to watch your color work video and give them a try. Your book is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I’m very excited about that too.

@karenridling9223 Месяц назад

Hi just watched your colour work knitting it is so beautiful you are very inspiring Thank you. Look forward too following you 😊

@stephaniefricke7679 5 месяцев назад

Love love LOVE the socks! Thank you for the coupon code. Just bought it. I’m finishing a pair of socks for my son size 10 1/2 men’s. And I can’t wait till they are done! Because they are a dark grey blue with flecks of burgundy. And it’s BORING me after watching so many of your colorful videos and looking through the your new book!!! Lol! Not really….but almost boring. 😊

@dianegatley2467 5 месяцев назад

Hi summer, I've purchased the sock pattern last night and am looooving making my first ever colour work sock. And..... Have pre ordered your book. I lovingly own over 30 pairs of my hand knit socks. Theyre amazing to make. Both DK and 4 ply. Loving your videos. Thank you. Di in UK xxxx

@LittleKittenLoops 5 месяцев назад

Cute x2…socks & porch! LOVE LOVE!! Quick Question ~ I would like to try colourwork, but thought I would weave in ends as I go like for stripes. Is there a reason you weave in after for your colourwork? Would love a video to see how you do this close up like weave in as you go. Thanks for your videos! They bring so much joy! ❤ xx

@dianeespinoza8647 5 месяцев назад

Those socks! I want to copy them. 🎉 I am trying to procure the yarn and well distractions, distractions. This will make you laugh when I tell you I watch your show on my 60” HD TV so I really do get to see every pore on your face. I ma glad you have a nice face. 😂😂😂❤ Your porch looks adorable!! I love the curtains!! I am inspired first I am looking for yarn like yours now u am figuring out where to hang curtains!! It looks nice when you are sitting there all breezy! We have 33 mph wind my yarn would end up in the neighbors cow pastures 😂😂 I love knitting 🧶

@kathryntimms9050 5 месяцев назад

Recently found your channel! Yes, I have been Bing watching 😊 You are delightfully Fun! My absolute favorite item to knit is socks. I have one to three pair on my needles at a time. I ordered your book today! 🎉 Have a lovely week and keep climbing that rock wall!

@cindik7268 5 месяцев назад

First of all, that bright blue is your color! You look stunning in it. Your hair and glasses go so well with it. I love those frames. Ok…now…you have always been my inspiration! When I found you a few years ago, I devoured your tutorials, ordered the “ color wok needles” and bought most of your patterns. ( couldn’t buy everyone because I wanted all of the yarn, as well). Anyway…I’ve yet to do one pair of color work socks! 😂😂. But this is it! My goal is to complete my socks I’m knitting now and then give the color work a whirl! I have some oral surgery coming up, and if I am able to concentrate, I will begin the pair then. I may even be able to send you a photo on IG. Btw, I wanted to add that it is so nice to see you knit English rather than continental. You are a fast knitter, too. I always felt badly that continental is just not that comfortable for me ( which is funny since I’m left handed). Thank you so much for your time, talent, and creativity. You certainly are “da bomb”. ❤❤❤.

@carolepuccigoodwin6353 5 месяцев назад

I love your videos Summer❤️ I do have a question…. Where do you get your solid color pops? I am having a hard time being super picky online getting nowhere fast. Thanks in advance! I’ve gotten better with buying yard for projects rather than single loved skeins so now I don’t have any randoms and no color pops because my palette is rather muted/bog-like, etc 😅

My mom loves Vampire Diaries she has all the DVDs I read the book in high school and just couldn't get into the show maybe I'll give it a try again. I'll start once I finish Queen Charlotte on Netflix. I love watching you create your socks. My book will finally be here next week I did get the ebook too because I couldn't wait.

@nyxian_grid 5 месяцев назад

hi Summer! Love your colourful socks! I don't usually comment, but I thought I would give you a kind advice that it's best not to show so much of your house/street on the internet, as there are so many weirdos around... Especially not your house number! Most likely nothing will happen, but I just feared for the worst when I saw those clips, and I hope you consider this. Look forward to more awesome colour combinations!

@luzamart2 5 месяцев назад

Hey Summer, totally enjoying this video. I’m looking at your stash of yarn, w/o labels and I’m wondering how do you know you have enough yarn for both socks? My not so organized self would weigh my leftovers and add it to the label. Love your idea of designing on excel 🤯

@JulieLorayne 5 месяцев назад

Your variegated color looks like Hedgehog Fibers' "Pinkmas" ! I'd love to know your other colors ! Love the pattern !

@margarethastings3332 5 месяцев назад

I enjoyed that so much! Your socks are amazing. I just love your house. We don’t really have houses with front porches here in Scotland, at least not where I live, but I did live in Australia for a number of years and I can see similarities in house styles. I would love a front porch to sit and knit in, but the reality is it would probably be too wet or windy or freezing for most of the year. I suppose we can’t have it all. 🤷‍♀️ You did a great job sprucing up your porch, although I really didn’t think it was too bad to begin with! 👍💕

@user-cz1jm5xf8g 5 месяцев назад

Wow! Those are such fabulous socks! I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it but I think the main colour for those socks is Hedgehog Fibres - Sweet Pea…I think 🤔

@cynthiacorbin2200 4 месяца назад

This summer I am going to tackle colorwork socks! I just got the pattern and a set of 9 “ circular needles. I love your knitting adventures!!❤

@songbirdhandmade 5 месяцев назад

They're fantastic, I love how perfectly that variegated yarn goes with the colourwork! About as unrelated as it gets, how do you have your diffuser running on your shelf? Do some of the shelves have plugs?

@jeffkathywhitaker 5 месяцев назад

I'm so sad, Summer! I've started the Sunnyside up socks twice and even turned the heel and messed up in the cuff once and the color work once. Started over today and messed up 3x in the casting on. Ugh!

@melanietowner5870 5 месяцев назад

I’m totally enjoying your videos, you are engaging, especially when you get close to the camera…. Have you ever thought about doing a how too video on working with an excell spread sheet?

@krisodom1467 3 месяца назад

I loved the quote about taking on too much. You should just wait until we all knit all of your socks to see it in many different palettes. 🎨 do you provide hashtags?

@michelleciechna2231 5 месяцев назад

Love your socks and your porch! You will get used to the braces. I had them as an adult actually same type of hardware you have. Most of my adult friends that got braces after me did Invisalign. Interestingly, they all ended up doing the hardware thing for various reasons.

@karenalbery2773 5 месяцев назад

Did your dentist offer you neon or glow in the dark rubberbands????? Those were the only thing that got me thru a similar set of hardware. I always roll up the label and pop it inside the cake. Using the shorties for the colorwork is brilliant. How did you know that i have only one set of shorties exactly one size larger than my preferred sock size?? I am totally going to watch your other tutorials on color work right now. I have done 3 colorwork hats and have conquered contrast toes and heels and stripes so i think i am ready for a colorwork sock. Eeek i got the newsletter while i was watching! Going to ravelry now

@cbertrand4220 5 месяцев назад

@susansward6308 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing you process for color choices in so many of your videos. Color is a hard part of knitting for me. I just got your book so I hope to learn more about color. Was that a Blue Heeler in the back ground I saw. I have such a dog in my family. On second look I believe your friend in the background is a husky.

@bgummeson 5 месяцев назад

I am really enjoying your channel. I love your approach to color. I have some variegated sock yarn that I’ve been struggling with, and now I have some ideas for it. I laughed when you talked about gameifying weaving in ends, as I had already decided to see how many ends I could weave in while I watched you today. I started on the last tail by the time your outro started. 😊

@kristinahill3708 5 месяцев назад

What to comment on first: gorgeous socks, fun porch glow up, the weaving in ends/listen to an old fave album tip, more vampire diaries, leaning in too far when on camera. I get you. Huge fan! Thank you for such fabulous content.

@shetlandlace 5 месяцев назад

Beautiful socks! I love color knitting, and have knit many, many different color work hats. I am ready to expand into socks, and your episode was an inspiration. I love the porch-so peaceful. I hear you with the refinery odors. I grew up in a town near a paper mill and when the inversion sent those lovely odors of rotten eggs into our valley-it was NOT delightful. We also had many lumber mills with teepee burners in town, so lovely odors were plentiful.

@kcfield601 5 месяцев назад

Beautiful. I am curious about the short needles. One needle is smaller than the other. Interesting.
