It's not even funny how much I love this podcast! I think i have rewatched all the episodes at least once because it is so watchable!

@thekindles1183 5 месяцев назад

Same!!!!

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!! That makes my day!

@ginaabrahamson291 5 месяцев назад

That speckled yarn does not do justice to your pattern!

@sandras2479 5 месяцев назад

Agreed!

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree! You just can't see it at all!

@Sharon-hl1fe 5 месяцев назад

Agreed

@knitsinpurple2005 5 месяцев назад

Finally - someone else who does not enjoy musicals. I would rather have a root canal than sit through a musical. My friends all love them and get frustrated that I will not join in their excitement. Thanks again for another great podcast.

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Same!!! I just can do it!

@carlybauer2869 5 месяцев назад

I agree with your gut instinct on the marl... GORGEOUS fabric, but you lose the beauty of those mock cables. Perhaps a less-speckly marl, like two tones of the same color? Knitting the fingering version now and LOVING them- so addictive.

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Right? You totally lose the pattern, but the fabric would be great on vanilla!

@gayleyip6689 20 дней назад

This was great. Thanks for the tutorial. I gave your book as a gift to my sister-in-law to keep her inspired. It's wonderful.

@jessicaolney4900 5 месяцев назад

Another great episode Summer! For that heavily speckled sock: I would say that if I could not see the cabled pattern in real life (doesn't matter to me for photos), then I wouldn't use that yarn. You're making me dream of getting some good solids so I can have a play! Right now I am working with those odd minis and random skeins in my stash (I mean, yarn collection 😉)...but still enjoying the process and working on the "right" fit for me (and my teen boys's..at least I can wear them after they outgrow them if they aren't manky 😂)

@valerieodonnell6764 16 часов назад

I don’t enjoy watching musicals on video, but in person it’s different. Especially a professional level production like Broadway.

@katieembrey-farquhar1116 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for doing these podcasts. The knitting and sock content is awesome, but I appreciate your stories, tangents, and just overall presence the most. ❤️

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!

@deannaknopp5020 3 месяца назад

I just got your book and now that I’ve seen your tutorial on these socks I can’t wait to knit them!!

@eleonoraiggulden439 13 дней назад

Hi Summer, I just found your website today as I saw - 5 different sock patterns. I just ordered Book #27 from MDK - socks, also a pattern from another 100% yarn farm near Ottawa Ontario called Topsy Farms. Interesting episode, then when you mentioned Knit Stars - I purchased the first 5 years, then decided since I wasn't making anything to not continue. Then I realized that you are doing a class for Knit Stars. How awesome. I have a few WIP's to finish, then off to more blanket and sock knitting. Thank you so much. p.s. I hope you have partners for all those lovely socks.

@MarinaGvozdeva 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree on musicals. They were actually got a very high attention and popularity during depression time (1920s) as an easy to follow alternative to opera performances, as well as a great distraction from the very horrible economic conditions and overall life

@Oldorcuttyarnery 5 месяцев назад

Summer - my customers are loving your book. They are telling me it’s like a master’s class on making socks..plus more! Looking forward to your Fiberside Chat!

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Oh this makes my whole day!! That's exactly what I was going for with the book, so I'm relieved that customers are loving it!!! Thank you so much for this feedback!

@user-sp1rj5uk3x 5 месяцев назад

Love the mock cable socks. And love the idea of using the mohair. I love the little space that you are filming in. Would you ever give us a bigger peek? I'm trying to find a small space to work in and yours is so fresh and cheerful.

@annotlewski1104 5 месяцев назад

I’m like you, Summer. I don’t like musicals. My family thinks I’m weird, but I find them boring. I just purchased your Hibernal DK socks pattern and have never knit DK socks before. Also, really looking forward to receiving your book next week (Amazon)!!

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Thankfully no one in my family likes musicals either, so they never try to make me get on board! 😂

@dianeespinoza8647 2 месяца назад

I will say it again, I love to watch your vlogs! I broadcast to my TV and I let them run so while I am doing things you voice is chit chatting in the background, thanks to HD OLED I am familiar with with your pores and eyelashes 😂 I am telling there isn’t a video where I don’t relate or experience the exact same things like being bored with musicals and becoming emotionally exhausted when I have a double event day, ( a trip to the store counts as an event ) haha so I am done sounding like a crazee lady imagining we could be like sisters or at least besties agreeing with each other all day knitting socks and petting dogs, or in my case a chicken ..🤔 I guess that would be if you lived in NC or I in OK. 😂 I wish I had a sock yarn collection like yours. 😍 have a good week.

@belindabeckett7606 5 месяцев назад

Congrats on the book and the book tour. I have pre ordered the book and look forward to getting it next week. I have also purchased the knit stars course by you and have enjoyed it. I love to knit socks and have been knitting socks for a while but I know you can always learn something new and I have enjoyed these podcast and course on knit stars . I have learned a lot so thank you so much.

I love that you do tutorials. I just bought your book on my Kindle and I can't wait to knit some of your patterns :)

@postulatedspace 5 месяцев назад

I just love your podcast. I was never a sock knitter but you turned me into one. I bought a whole bunch of your patterns, including Hibernal DK!

@serenityinstitches8236 5 месяцев назад

I binge watched most of your videos the other day, and the hibernal socks have stuck with me. So happy I purchased them today at the subscriber discount! 😊 Thank you, Christina ❤

@OllieandMay 5 месяцев назад

When I Marl yarns for a DK knit, I tend to use a Vanilla unspeckled yarn with a speckled yarn, , that way the Speckles are not drowned out by the other yarn, unfortunately you are loosing the pattern and stitch definition with both of the speckled yarns you have used. Love the pattern it’s Gorgeous ❤

@ellie-cr1ld 5 месяцев назад

@vickichapel7447 5 месяцев назад

Great podcast!!! I so enjoy your podcasts and LOVE the DK Hibernal socks!! I appreciate all sock knitting tips and your socks are always so beautiful. Your tension on your socks is so lovely. I aspire to have my socks look that smooth and even. My socks are functional, but always seem to have 1 or 2 errors in each pair. I know, I know, knit a bunch of vanilla socks!! Off to continue my current sock. Thanks again for a fun podcast. Best of luck with your book tour and I am eagerly awaiting my copy.

@ceciliathomsen7152 4 месяца назад

Love your podcasts, Summer. I really enjoy the great content and getting to know you a bit. Thank you!

@elisaa.7424 5 месяцев назад

love your bouquets!!! I got your Knit stars class , your patterns and now your wonderful podcast AND I just preordered your book cause I love everything you do...now I need to make my FIRST PAIR of socks!!!!!!! it always scared me for some reason to knit with dons so I always postponed knitting them.... I think I am "mentally" prepared to knit some ..and I have the feeling I'll get obsessed too :) thank you for your wonderful work Summer! :) Elisa

@jessicad697 5 месяцев назад

Another wonderful episode! Excited to get your book next week 🙂 Vanilla socks are my favorite to knit! I have slowly been adding in textures/patterns, but I think vanilla socks will forever have my heart.

@kimcummings624 4 месяца назад

I really love this podcast, thank you for all you're doing. I just ordered the hard copy AND the kindle version of your book just to show my support and hopefully FINALLY become the sock knitter I've always wanted to be. Thanks again! 💗

@carolturnerrd 5 месяцев назад

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!! I purchased your DK Hibernal socks yesterday and the tutorial was very helpful. I was going to start them until I heard your tip about how to become a better sock knitter 😂 I have your book pre-ordered so I am selecting yarn to cast on basic vanilla socks ❤ Thanks for all your help. As a beginner these are amazing

@alisonbrown9315 5 месяцев назад

You are so right about knitting socks and the reasons for knitting socks. I have made so many socks that I can do them almost in my sleep - I have socks on needles on my desk all the time and pick them up during long meetings to help me concentrate on the meeting. Knitting socks helps me focus! Also just downloaded your new pattern and can’t wait to start my dk socks!

@ericallerton809 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for a great episode 🎉🎉🎉 Great tutorial in the mock cable!!!!bought the pattern!!!!looks like i can do it!!!!❤ Love the idea of my fingering with mohair for this pattern!!!! Love ur speckled yarns together!!!!but pattern gets lost!!!! You are a breath of fresh air ☀️ Elaine 🏠⛄

@jatraveler1277 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. I have been wanting to do a sock with Mohair and fingerweight yarn. The yarns are waiting in my stash.

@kayleenjasperse3099 5 месяцев назад

I really enjoy these podcasts so much! You are so empowering and inspiring, and I love how you focus on equipping other knitters and creators to make what they like. Thank you! Also, the marled fabric those speckled yarns is making is so beautiful, but I agree that your stunning pattern is being drowned out. They look like they want to be vanilla socks, to me :)

@bethanyharrington8432 5 месяцев назад

Really enjoy your podcast! Thank you for your enthusiasm, knowledge and honesty! Are you planning any book signings in New England?

@ashleystahl2733 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your sock advice…I love that you said learn what you love! It can be hard to feel it out on your own with so much input from Instagram, RU-vid etc. it’s so nice to hear do what you love, what colors you love.

@wendybradley8420 5 месяцев назад

I should receive my bnext week I preordered and I purchased your master class really looking forward to knitting some socks that are not vanilla. Thanks so much for your podcast I’ve been enjoying them. Happy knitting

@poopug 5 месяцев назад

I only wear hand knit socks. Find commercial socks make my feet feel icky. Love all your patterns.

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

I can't do commercial socks that aren't cotton! They make my feet feel icky too. But cotton ones I can stand for some reason.

@janetshepherd9062 3 месяца назад

I am maki g the thick socks from your book. No had to double the length of the heel flap but I love it! Making a pair for my sister now.

@evierose1533 5 месяцев назад

Can’t wait for my book to arrive! Been knitting socks for years and have many books so never thought I’d be buying another one, but, your tutorial on doing color work with small circs was a life saver. When I saw that you came out with a book I knew I had to have it! And, I really dislike musicals, too.

@lilianarose8275 5 месяцев назад

Your dog’s demo was the best! 😂❤ … I’m looking forward to knitting those dk hibernal socks

@Meredith36 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations on your book tour! That's so exciting. If I still lived in TX, I'd come to see you. Thank you so much for the tutorial on how to do moc cables. The yarn is stunning but I couldn't even see the cables in it. Maybe it will be magic, and the cables will stand out after knitting more, but right now, they aren't standing out. Do you know how to knit toe socks? Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

@CatherineCordonnier 5 месяцев назад

J’adore ce podcast Summer ❤ thank you for being so clear. And now I will never be ashamed of knitting mere Vanilla socks! But will try DK with your new pattern as well (thanks for the coupon code on Ravelry!)

@janetjroberson2581 5 месяцев назад

Hello from Swansea, Illinois.

@HeidiSpear-oz6rw 4 месяца назад

So glad I heard about you, your podcast and your patterns. I really enjoyed my first episode and laughed out loud about your musicals quandary. I grew up singing and dancing and have also come to believe that musicals are first and foremost for the performers (and maybe their parents). I never go out of my way to see one and sometimes go out of my way not to, which I feel a bit bad about, if I know the performers. Enjoyed your energy and humor and appreciate your guidance. I look forward to resuming my sock knitting habit with you.

@Citroen_2cv 5 месяцев назад

Same no-thanks on musicals. A friend dragged me to Les Mis and I must have crossed and re-crossed my legs a hundred times. I could feel my Uber app empathizing in my bag.

@jhuntsman17 5 месяцев назад

Summer I love your channel. I am so excited for your book next week. All your socks are so happy. I love your tips for sock knitting. It took awhile for me to know what really fits and what didn’t. Have fun with your book tour. How exciting ❤ safe travels

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!❤

@karendavis7278 5 месяцев назад

I just discovered your RU-vid channel thanks to Knit Together with Kim and Jonna. I’ve been following you on Instagram for a long time. I love your sock designs. I binge watched all of your videos and loved knitting along as you laughed and smiled your way through each episode. You sure do not act like an introvert in front of the camera. 😊 I am browsing through your delightful book on my iPad right now. It’s a snow day here in southern Lancaster County, PA - the perfect day to receive a new knitting book. Like you, I love to read and I love to knit but I can’t do them together. I’m also a visual learner so audio books aren’t my jam. And I also get motion sickness easily so reading and knitting just won’t gel. The read vs. knit tug of war is very real. Sometimes I’ll knit a row or two (or ten) then read a chapter. Stop. Repeat. Congratulations on your book release and happy knitting!

@laetitias2312 3 месяца назад

I live in my woolly socks! It’s so damp here that it’s so comfy! And if it’s damaged it’s ok I can treat myself with a new pattern or a new book of socks ❤

@laurapankhurst4344 4 месяца назад

Absolutely loving your podcasts. It's like having a friend without having to have a friend! The joys of being an introvert. I have pre-ordered your book and I'm impatiently waiting for it to be released in the UK! P. S. I don't enjoy musicals either. I love films and I love songs, but when they're combined it just jars my teeth 😂

@melcerra2375 5 месяцев назад

I am so glad that I found your podcast. So informative. I will definitely check out your new book. I am also not fond of musicals at all. It is weird b/c I love music so much. I don't love mixing a story with singing.

@almarodriguez1548 4 месяца назад

Summer, I also like long socks. My ankles get cold under my work desk & if I scrunch them down, I stay warm 😊 I just purchased 3 of your patterns, thanks for the coupon! 😀👍

@OldeThymeKnits 5 месяцев назад

I am so excited to see an episode on DK socks! I am a huge fan of DK socks and I love that you created a pattern & showed a few different yarn options. These are all I knit for gifts especially! Great episode and P.S I don't like musicals either 🙃

@jennywolford4102 5 месяцев назад

I think the speckled fabric would look great as a vanilla sock. 😊

@marjonmooj8021 Месяц назад

Oh i am just starting knitting socks. I did two vanilla socks and i want to knit fun patterns... but now i learned that ita better to knit more basic socks😂...

Oooo I'm loving this "couch nest" talk. I love being in a couch nest. Just glad you came up with a name for it ☺️

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

The Couch Nest is the best!!!

@jennydawson1281 5 месяцев назад

I think that’s what I love about knitting socks the most that you can just choose any colour you feel like an are drawn to, especially the really bright ones which probably wouldn’t suit me close to my face but on your feet anything goes I’m now desperate to cast on a DK pair of socks and I’m wondering will your book be available in the UK. ? PS have to say I love musicals watching them live is the best .

@caroltrice5563 3 месяца назад

I would love to see you demo how you weave in ends as you go. On page 71 of your book, it looks like you have ends woven in both the old yarn and the new yarn. I think I know how to weave in the NEW yarn when you first pick it up , but the old yarn is the one I can't wrap my head around. Thank you in advance!

@user-il9cv2zw4l 5 месяцев назад

hi i always enjoy watching you i am a new knitter

@DQDebra 5 месяцев назад

I love the Hibernal socks 🧦! I think the pattern would look good with a marling that is with two solid color yarns.

@joannjones601 5 месяцев назад

I enjoy your podcast as it is so practical and informative. Your color combinations are such an inspiration. Your color combination in the speckle didn’t do your pattern justice. Oh, and by the way, you earrings are fantastic.

@nancyistenes7643 5 месяцев назад

Still loving your podcast. I’m excited for your book release this week. My input on the marled sock. I love the yarns individually. I love the yarns marled together. I do not love them with this stitch pattern. It doesn’t highlight the yarn or the stitch pattern. A Question: If you wanted to do the longer Hibernal socks but only had one skein of DK would doing contrasting heel and toe be enough? When you knit DK socks do you pick yarns with nylon in them? Any favorites?

@juliedesalvo2475 5 месяцев назад

Haha! You've just given me a reason to buy more yarn.... there's no such thing as too many hand knit socks. 🤷‍♀️✨

@conniedunfield7601 3 месяца назад

I was a kid, w/my mother we saw "Oklahoma". When Curley was riding his horse through the wheat fields signing away, I couldn't stop laughing over the obscurity of it. But really I love musicals, they're relaxing and lovely to listen to. This was a stellar podcast, again took notes! I agree w/you, be your own designer!

@mainewoodshome 5 месяцев назад

I cannot wait for my book to arrive. You have reignited my love of knitting socks and I so appreciate that. As an eighties girl myself I would suggest the musical Xanadu! Roller skating,mythology and ELO songs. It’s super fun live when people actually get up and dance like it’s a concert. Looking forward to to future episodes.

@kpags6681 5 месяцев назад

Thank you another nice podcast! I am really hard on my socks. Do you have tips for reinforcing bottom of heel and ball of the foot?

@colleenwilson6869 5 месяцев назад

I used to feel the same way about musicals. And I’m still very picky about which ones I like but Hamilton really made me rethink and want to go back and watch musicals I had never seen because I thought I wouldn’t like them. But I think people either tend to love or hate musicals and they seem divisive. Loving your podcast and looking forward to your book signing!

@saraeclipse 4 месяца назад

Oh my goodness - I really dislike musicals and Valentine's Day too! You are not alone! ❤

@joannemoseley8994 5 месяцев назад

Excellent podcast! Enjoy your book tour! Funny about the musicals. I’m not a huge fan, but I don’t actively dislike them. I feel like I’m the only knitter who does not enjoy gardening!

@debrasusan73 5 месяцев назад

You have really found your niche in life, Summer! You're so good at all of this stuff. Your episodes are so enjoyable, fun, informative! I don't want your videos to end! Thanks for the spectacular content!

@summerleedesignco.6471 5 месяцев назад

@teresasleeper2458 5 месяцев назад

Lmao!!! Surrey with the fringe on top.......😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am a non-musical person too!

@user-hr3cf7ho5j 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations on your book! I'm eagerly waiting for my pre-ordered book to arrive. One more point to add to your research on store-bought vs. hand-knit socks - hand-knit socks are the best non-restrictive socks because they don't fall into your shoes or restrict blood flow. My mom has varicose veins around her ankles and absolutely adores my hand-knit socks for their fit.

@pamelaveley 5 месяцев назад

Great podcast! I've knit probably three or four zillion socks, but you are finding new and enchanting things to say about the process, so many thanks! Re musicals: I just took my granddaughters to the 60th anniversary of My Fair Lady (the movie) and holy moly--it was LONG! Two thoughts. One: since audience members are paying major bucks for tickets to see a musical on Broadway, you can't just give them an hour-long musical or they'll feel cheated. Plus the "merch" and snacks you buy during intermission are another important part of the bottom line for the theater/actors/producers so you need a show long enough to have a substantial intermission. Thought two: "Old time" musicals were written long before the advent of things like tiktok--back when audiences had the patience and the attention span to pay attention to something for three hours. I know my patience for sitting still that long is pretty much gone. So on that note--many thanks for the 45 min. podcast! ;-) Looking forward to Amazon delivering your book next week.

@lizjones3562 5 месяцев назад

I love the store bought vs hand knit socks convo. Maybe a future topic could be about adding elastic thread to socks. Have you tried it? Would you recommend etc. thanks!

@LottaSocks 5 месяцев назад

So much fun to watch! I will expand my sock “collection” to include silk/mohair. Some “light fingering” yarns are okay (463y/100g) when I use US#0 (gauge = 10 to 11 sts/inch = firm fabric)… and I’ve made a few pairs w 2 strands fingering. But the DeLuxe Sock w fuzzy… sigh… must get some! (Boohoo, just placed an order for regular sock yarn…) Yes, sadly the pattern seems to get lost w the variegated… However !!! makes a Gorgeous combo for DK… ribbed or st st! Thanks for sock tips & ideas! Have fun on your Book Tour!

@patriciasalazar1158 5 месяцев назад

Very interesting podcast. Thank you! Isn't there any cotton sock yarn blended with something like Lycra/spandex?

@Plantsandmusicandyarn 5 месяцев назад

I’m also not into musicals. Haha. You are not alone! The marled yarns are lovely but I think they’d be better on a vanilla sock. Also, I have found that my merino socks stretch out more than my socks made from wools like BFL. If I feel like my socks have gotten a little stretched out, I wash them and run them through the dryer on low. I only do this with superwash wool socks, and if you’re nervous you can test a swatch. But I’ve never had an issue with them felting or shrinking too much. They always come out just right!
