- In this video I take you along as I challenge myself to knit three pairs of basic socks that are anything but basic or boring! Sometimes we need a simple, relaxing knit, but that doesn't mean we have to end up with a pair of socks that aren't fun to look at or wear! Watch this episode for all the Not Basic basic sock inspiration!

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 ❤😘
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!
@@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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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 love your podcasts.You are so down to earth and funny.Watching you create your beautiful socks always brightens my day.
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 ❤
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 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. 🌷
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 !
“Guard what you consume..”!!!! I totally agree and have been trying to explain that to my teenage children 😕
Oh my god this is BEST episode 🎉 i chuffing love you and your socks xx
Thanks so much for the inspiration. I was struggling with leftovers and now I'm ready to roll:)
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.
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!
Summer Lee, you are breath of fresh air. I have ordered sock yarn and want to knit a pair. We’ll see . . . !
You inspire me to use all my leftovers to knit up not-so-boring socks!
I think it’s the multiple bright colour possibilities that I love about socks I’m a sucker for any neon , I’m in peak procrastination mode knitting socks instead of writing an essay !
Amazing that you finished 3 pairs of socks in a week! I love watching your happy face and I’m now subscribed to your podcast…❤
Haha, Hereditary was great :) Definitely not for everybody, though!
Thanks for the video!
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
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.
Had a ball with this video. I knitted vanilla socks along with you. Had a great time following you around OK Thank you.
Just found your channel. Love it. I’ve been admiring how beautiful your stitches are. It’s practically machine knit looking. Very nice.
I'm currently knitting my very first pair of socks. LOVING your book and really enjoying your podcast!
I just got your book and started my first pair! I’d love to see videos of your cast on and joining in the round process. I have heard of using two circular needles, I want to learn everything! I’m so excited to make my first pair of socks!
I just love you, Summer! I love your socks, I love your videos, and I love YOU!
I was NOT prepared to see vampire diaries in this video!! What a nostalgic guilty pleasure show!!!❤
I love the colors of your second design - need to find those colors for myself 😃
Thanks for ask the great ideas!
Love the videos and the joy you bring to knitting!
I just discovered your channel, and can I just say that I LOVE you! You are so fun to watch, I love your laugh! 😂I am a hat knitter, I've only knit hats, but have really wanted to learn how to do socks, but have been very afraid of knitting things that need good sizing. 😬 But you have inspired me to give it a try! I'm going to get your book...hope it helps 😊 Again, loving your channel, I will watch every week! 💜
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!
The music, the filming, its giving Wes Anderson and I am here. For. IT. 👩🍳💋
😍😍😍😍 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 !!
When your yarn rolled under the sofa and you had to pick the fur off 😂. I've found my people!
Yes!!!!❤
Just found you! I loved the video and your personality. It was so much fun to watch your journey from initial ideas to end results, and those socks are all absolutely stunning. I love how you put colours together, too!
I loved watching this, I’m a newbie to sock knitting so simple is perfect. I’m currently in bed poorly so you kept me company and entertained. Now I need to check out The Vampire Diaries!
Another amazing video 😂 I absolutely love vanilla socks and after a heavy test knit period with lots of lace/ textured knits I’m very much looking forward to having some fun with some not to basic basic socks and fun colour combos.
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!
Speech and debate will be the most educational and worth while element of your kids education! Good for you!!
If there were knitting video Oscars you would get one. Funniest knitting video ever loved every minute😂
Getting my copy of the sock project tomorrow, so excited!
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!
Relating so hard to so much of this video. Watching while knitting a plain sweater sleeve cuz I want to get it done before the weather gets too warm to wear sweaters! And also my last clothing purchase was a grey tee and two white tees from Eddie Bauer. Went with 2 whites cuz the colour options seemed too overwhelming…
But all this fun sock inspiration is great for summer sock stash busting plans!
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.
OMG! Your doggo reminds me so much of my first dog, Sandy! It has me smiling and crying at the same time😂. Give them extra loves from me, please!
I am so enjoying your vlogs! I just bought your book and an on a quest to be a better sock knitter. I want to suggest Lands End for clothes shopping. I love them and there are lots of basic pieces and sales
Love, love, love, every one of your episodes. Your socks are so fun and happy!
Hi summer I’m so excited by book is coming today on eclipse day here! I can’t wait to start a new sock!
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?
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 you’re from oklahoma!! I live in Shawnee. ❤❤. So glad I came across your channel!!
Summer I love your sense of humor. I look forward to your podcast every Friday . Thank you for being you . Also your socks are so fun 😊
Thank you so much!!
I love the mint heel and toe!
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.
loved it again Summer. The socks turned out great. Good luck with the braces.
I loved this video! You are so fun! I’m just getting the sock knitting bug after acquiring tons of sock yarn on the yarn crawl in my area last year. I’m so excited!
so much fun to watch!!! 😍
LOVE LOVE LOVE…your podcasts are GREAT!! Fab sock ideas ❤ xx
Great podcast - loved every minute!
Your socks are gorgeous love the colours x
Loved watching!😅your socks look soooo good!!
Wow..... just wow lol. That was so much fun! 🤩
Love the helical pair 😍😍😍
You are so cute and funny! And a good sock teacher too!
I love your socks and love your color choices ❤
Those socks are great! I think the striped ones are my favorite.
I’m currently knitting your pattern mermaid avenue. I love them ❤
This was a lot of fun to watch! Another idea i love to do is change color for every step. Like cast on in one color, cuff in the next, leg in another and also for every step of the heel do a different color and bind off in another color. Also this mixed with different typed of heels makes really amazing socks
Love all the socks! Your videos are THE BEST! I always look forward to them.
Your socks are lovely. Waiting on your book from Amazon 😊❤️
Summer, I LOVE watching your videos! So much! ❤
I love your socks! Very much.
What a fun episode! ✨
I love all of your socks, your colour sense is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing❤
I love your book!
I LOVE YOUR PODCASTS!!!!!!!!!!
Loved this video!! New subscriber here and have enjoyed catching up on the podcast so far. I love your style! I am a knitter but have never attempted the sock and you're so inspiring that I have bought a few of your patterns and ordered some size 1 and 2 chiagoos! Looking forward to some basic socks, especially with all these colour combo ideas ♥💕✨
Your color combinations are really great. I love all the pair of socks 👏🏽🤩
What a fun set of socks. I so enjoy watching you create. I always come away inspired.
Love love LOVE all the socks!!!!’
I love your videos, so much fun! Such a lovely personality ❤ thanks for all the inspiration and joy you bring!
Just bought your book can’t wait to start knitting some sock out of it love ❤ your podcast
I absolutely adore you vlog format Summer. And your book. And your patterns!!!!
I love your podcast, learning so much from you.
I’m so happpy you came to CZcams! I enjoy your tutorials and most of all enjoy your giggle! Keep up the good work!!
You are so relatable!
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!
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.
Absolutely loving your videos at the moment! I’ve been so inspired in my own sock knitting, love it!
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.
LOL I thought this was and instructional video……but I did enjoy watching you lol…..Im a beginner sock knitter and I’m trying to learn to knit so but simple 😊
Came for the sock chat but I absolutely feel the need to comment I relate and 💯 back the mantra of watch movies you can handle.
I adore Toni Collete but Hereditary traumatised me: you only watched 15 min but I watched it all😂 and I had nightmares for days with someone creeping up a wall.😰
Felt like I needed to watch Finding Nemo after that one to balance it out 🤭
Great video thanks. Socks are so fun ❤
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.
They turned out fab ❤
