- 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.
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!
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 ❤
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,
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.
✌️💜🧶🧦
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!
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 😕
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…❤
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 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 !
I was NOT prepared to see vampire diaries in this video!! What a nostalgic guilty pleasure show!!!❤
When your yarn rolled under the sofa and you had to pick the fur off 😂. I've found my people!
Yes!!!!❤
The music, the filming, its giving Wes Anderson and 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
I just love you, Summer! I love your socks, I love your videos, and I love YOU!
You inspire me to use all my leftovers to knit up not-so-boring socks!
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!
If there were knitting video Oscars you would get one. Funniest knitting video ever loved every minute😂
Summer Lee, you are breath of fresh air. I have ordered sock yarn and want to knit a pair. We’ll see . . . !
Speech and debate will be the most educational and worth while element of your kids education! Good for you!!
Thanks so much for the inspiration. I was struggling with leftovers and now I'm ready to roll:)
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!
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.
😍😍😍😍 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 !!
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.
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 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!
Love, love, love, every one of your episodes. Your socks are so fun and happy!
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!!
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.
Haha, Hereditary was great :) Definitely not for everybody, though!
Thanks for the video!
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!
Had a ball with this video. I knitted vanilla socks along with you. Had a great time following you around OK Thank you.
I love that the tulip plant behind you matches your second Not-So-Basic basic sock!
You are so relatable!
I'm currently knitting my very first pair of socks. LOVING your book and really enjoying your podcast!
They turned out fab ❤
What a fun set of socks. I so enjoy watching you create. I always come away inspired.
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 ❤
Great video thanks. Socks are so fun ❤
Oh my god this is BEST episode 🎉 i chuffing love you and your socks xx
Your podcast is new to me. What a breath of fresh air.....so down to earth! Thank you!
I love all of your socks, your colour sense is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing❤
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.
Summer, I LOVE watching your videos! So much! ❤
Your color choices, aesthetic and personality always make me smile. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love all the socks! Your videos are THE BEST! I always look forward to them.
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!
Love love LOVE all the socks!!!!’
Sitting here knitting an interpretation of your Lykke Socks, and I now want to start all the new socks. You are so right - that new sock day feeling! I need some orange, white and mint striped socks!
Wow..... just wow lol. That was so much fun! 🤩
I love your videos, so much fun! Such a lovely personality ❤ thanks for all the inspiration and joy you bring!
You are hysterical! I can relate to all of 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.
LOVE LOVE LOVE…your podcasts are GREAT!! Fab sock ideas ❤ xx
I LOVE THOSE SOCKS!!❤❤❤
I love your book!
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 💖💖💖
Just found your channel. Love it. I’ve been admiring how beautiful your stitches are. It’s practically machine knit looking. Very nice.
I love your podcast, learning so much from you.
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.
Great podcast - loved every minute!
What a fun episode! ✨
I LOVE YOUR PODCASTS!!!!!!!!!!
I keep seeing your book around and now am convinced I should get it! I really need to cast on some basic socks but I didn't want them to be basic basic because that is boring so you have inspired me!!! Can't wait to go and cast some not so basic socks on!
Poor Things is not a creepy film. Its artistic and more about living without inhibitions and preduces with mostly just instinct to drive us. I found the film to be beautiful and comical and totally engaging. Not scary whatsoever.
I would highly recommend you give it a go.
I love your book
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
Bought your beautiful book, and although a garment knitter I am now motivated to knit socks as an art form… because of you! Thanks!
I just happened upon your podcast as I was getting back into knitting socks and I LOVE it! Thanks in many ways…and keep knitting socks!
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!
Love all three pairs! I enjoyed watching your process and your humor. :)
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!
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!
Those socks are great! I think the striped ones are my favorite.
I’m currently knitting your pattern mermaid avenue. I love them ❤
Your color combinations are really great. I love all the pair of socks 👏🏽🤩
So fun!!!
I agree, guard what you watch/consume! Hence, watching you knit basic socks, whilst I'm knitting 😁 Anne 🦘
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!
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!
Needed to hear your laughter!
Seriously! I always remember you and the laughters and I am here for you 💯!
Watching while knitting my HIBERNAL DK socks. You inspire me!!
so much fun to watch!!! 😍
Obsessed with those confetti and multi striped ribbing socks ❤
Love your videos. This one has inspired me to combine a couple of techniques in my next pair of socks!!!
I absolutely adore you vlog format Summer. And your book. And your patterns!!!!
YOU are AWESOME! I have a space heater too, and I just loved all the knitting, banter and mom stuff. I also do the same thing when shopping for clothes. I just end up buying yarn because it's prettier! ALL THE BEST! -- Kimberly
What a fun show!! Love love love the mint socks with red and hello stripes so much!!!!
Absolutely loving your videos at the moment! I’ve been so inspired in my own sock knitting, love it!
Love it, thank you!
You have inspired me with these socks!!!
