Summer, this was a great video, but the real reason I’m commenting is to tell you I bought your book and I’m up to chapter 3. It’s the first time I’ve ever really enjoyed reading an instructional book. You have a great sense of humor and I highly recommend your book to everyone.
OMG, Summer! Those are so beautiful. I've got 2 (blah) sweaters on needles. I'm going to put a pair of socks on the needles TONIGHT! I am loving your book, by the way too!
I ran into your video. I’m a sock knitter but I love your videos. I will certainly try your patterns and I will order your book. Your hair will grow out in no time. I think it looks cute n also your braces. I wore them in my forties. Going to continue with your videos. Thank you
I think you are so cute and Im sitting here laughing and grinning while listening to you talk about your bangs. 😂 They make your eyes stand out even more!
Good Morning Summer ... Love your shorty socks - Love all your socks. Thanks for the new pattern. I will put it in your sock book along with the Maize Sock pattern. I just started knitting in the Fall of 2023 so I do not have much stash yarn but I will try to improvise. Love your bangs. I also have wavy curly hair. I dry my hair using a diffuser and basically let it go natural.
I was on a sock-knitting hiatus but as a Floridian, I love shortie socks! Thank you for sharing this video. It brought me out of my slump and launched my Stash Summer Shortie Sock Saga.
Oh my god. As a fellow 43 year old, caring about appearance and then going feral is Such a mood. And bangret is absolutely real. (Also, shorty socks are my favorite.) Thank you for another wonderful video!!
1st, those shorties are so cute!!!! I'm working on my 1st shorties, knitting two at a time, and I got to the heel. Tried to try them on and couldn't get them over my heel. 😮😂 So, of course, I had to frog them. I don't know what happened. I tried to swap your twisted rib for a 2x2. Anyway, I cast the first one today. 2nd, try long bangs. I can't stand short bangs either but long bangs I love. Oh, and if you want to grow your bangs fast, massage your scalp. It helps blood flow, which increases keratin (lil cos tip😅). 3rd, your neighborhood looks awesome. Somehow, I imagined you living near a great plain (thumble weed and everything) 😂. Boy, how a person can me so wrong. Thanks for the pattern. I'll use it to ammend my shorties. Thanks so much for all you do. Hope you have a great weekend.
I LOVE your bangs! I have had bangs since I was a child and I can't be without them. But I also have the issue that if I don't deal with them as soon as I get out of the shower I have to style them or I have weird bangs.
I had bangs years ago, cute for a little bit then got annoying real fast. I too don’t like hair sweeping across my forehead. Those fades 😍 Oh my daughters and I would wear holes in those socks!!!! Pulling out my sock yarn after dinner to make some parings.
I like your bangs, but I can surely understand the frustration of having a style you're not comfortable with! I LOVE the section where you describe how you fade/blend the variegated and speckled colorway yarns! Love the look around your neighborhood :) I hope you have time to knit the second socks someday, but for now I for one am really glad you took time to show us 3 different colorway options!! Very inspiring :)
As a person who went from very long hair w/o bangs to very short hair w/ bangs, they take some getting used to...Like you, I truly loved how they looked but I could feel them. Worse, I could see them. So I decided to grow them out. Time came to get my hair again and boy was I surprised to find that by then I'd gotten used to them, and no longer noticed them. That weird part thing happening is real! However, since I'd parted my hair in the center since the mid 60s and it was then the early 80s, the bang hair was refusing to remain unparted. Took a week or so of combing them forward while wet and keeping that way until dry to give in to hanging together. Have had bangs since. See how you feel in 5 or 6 weeks...Besides, love being able to see your beautiful face/eyes with your new banged, contact lens face. Quite beautiful you are! Off to choose yarn for shortie socks!
Thanks for warning us about Bangret! I almost did it too but you’ve convinced me not to. And I love you because you, too, embrace your “feral phases”! 😂 Thanks for another great pattern. This year I’m having the “Summer of Socks” as I work my way through your terrific book!
Fabulous to see all the speckled yarn knit up and see how they work together. Newish to making socks so this was something new to me. Will experiment now for sure - thank you x
I love the ombre effect of these socks! Shorties are a great idea for summer. And I loved seeing your neighborhood! I had no idea there were such cute, tree-lined, historic neighborhoods in Oklahoma.
Beautiful socks. Thank-you for sharing your neighbourhood, I used to live in a neighbourhood with old houses and walks were always so interesting. I now live in rural Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 and walk in nature which I also love
I think the bangs are fun! Totally get the bangs taking over your life lol -- I've had them off and on and it took a long time to find a style that really works for me whether I style them or not. Also, I love seeing all the pops of color in your home! It's so fun without feeling hard to live in. You have such a great eye for color across the board!
I am looking forward to seeing you at Flock this year, and don't you know, why then your bangs will be all grown out! (I think they look great, but i totally get if it doesn't feel right to you). Thanks again for the great podcast. Your Seasons pattern was the first pair of socks I ever knitted, and I am currently working on a pair of murmuration socks from your book!
Went thru the hair over many yrs but finally now in senior phase , I won the fight & finally settled that with hair😂 your hair looks cute. Sock knitted, toe up, for 16 yrs but you convinced me to knit faded socks 😍 speckled stash here I come !
You look great with bangs Summer! Also...I always want to make whichever socks you’re knitting in these videos... so inspired by you! Have a great weekend ❤
I think you look at least 10 years younger with your bangs. I like it very much 👍🏻! You are my sock queen, there is nobody how can mix the colours as good as you. Send you a quick „hello“ from Germany wishing you a nice and ☀weekend. Eva
I love your bangs, but totally understand the frustration with curly hair. I have Shirley Temple tube curls without even trying and that includes my bangs. For years I tried to straighten them to no avail. If it rained or was humid I had little tubes that shortened up. I've been through numerous stylists because they cut my hair the way they think it should be cut , ie bangs that frame the face instead of the way I wanted it trimmed. My hair doesn't do bangs or frame my face, it hangs in curly tubes. I hope your hair grows fast, mine doesn't and every time they cut my bangs shorter than the rest it took forever for it to grow to the same length. That being said, thanks so much for the shorty fade socks. I've been wanting to make some full length faded socks, but will make the shorties first. I am a speckle yarn junkie. Love your vlog, you crack me up and bring a smile to my face every time I watch.
The faded socks are so gorgeous and I am so excited to try something new with my leftover sock yarn. Thank you, Summer! (And your hair looks adorable too)
I love these socks and will be making some.🎉 This may sound silly but massaging your head for 5 or more minutes daily in the area of your bangs will encourage faster growth. Your stimulating blood flow which helps hair growth. Hope you try it.
The bangs look wonderful. You’re such a joy to watch and listen too. I’ve made 3 pairs so far from your book and I’m posting on ravelry soon. Shout out to Beasley.
I love your bangs! I love your idea of fading the shorty socks. I am definitely going to do this! I am now so inspired that I want to cast on tonight! Your shorty socks were gorgerino!! And your fluffy dog is precious! Thanks for the inspiration!
Gosh, what a delight you are! I’ve knitted your socks for ages and no clue you have a channel. I also have feral phases and someone at the gym said to me today after I said hello ‘ oh you have many faces I didn’t recognise you’ ! (in a feral phase !)
I feel like the planets aligned perfectly for me to get into sock knitting a little bit before you wrote your book (which is a permanent fixture of my coffee table now) Your use of bright happy colors inspires me so much 😊 Also I totally know and have felt that adult braces pain. Definitely get a water flosser and load up on wax everything you see your ortho! 💕
Dear Summer..I like your Podcast SOOOO much, but I was already a fan of yours and your nicest Socks of the World! 🍓 These shorties are so beautiful, they came at the Right time, because I wanted to start fading NOW! I‘m still waiting for your Book to finally comes out und Germany of Spain….they keep puuting us off 😭 Like you, like your home, like your neighbourhood! Saludos 🌴
I know the feeling of bangret… try using a round brush and blow dryer to curl them away from your face and they will blend into your hair more. That’s what I’ve been doing with mine. ❤
I love these so much! 🧡🩷💚 I do have your book, but seeing you present it on video is so engaging. I am a newbie sock knitter, so I will wait a bit before trying these out. By the way, I live just a little northwest of OKC!
Good thing hair grows out! 😀 Although, I think your bangs are so cute! You don't need to make any 2nd socks, just make more faded shorties in more sorbet colors! You can have a selection of Sherbet Shorties to wear! My daughter spent most of elementary school & middle school intentionally wearing mismatched socks.
I've had bangs (and bangret!) The good thing is you can pull them back and pin them up at nearly any length, so if you hate yhe feeling of hair on your you can definitely change it right away. As for socks...this is my year of socks (though I started late) but I'm determined to get it down, hence I'll be buying your book and thanks for the pattern in the description... it'll help while I wait for the book to arrive 😁
Those socks look so cute mismatched together! I gave up knitting one sock at a time because I never went back and made the second socks. I would rather cut off a foot than knit the exact same thing twice in a row, so I had to learn to knit both at the same time using magic loop. :)
😂The bangs rant, man I can relate to ALL of that! And I have done the bangs several times and ways and every time... Disaster 🤣 Thanks for the shorty fade recipe!! Love how these turned out and they look cute when you wear them mis-matched (so maybe you don't need to knit their pairs!)
Hi, Summer! I hope you and your family are safe and well after the terrible weather. I bought your book and think it would be a great addition to any knitter’s library, especially new knitters. It’s a beautiful book. I enjoy your podcast and look forward to watching many more. BTW, I am suffering through bangret and am currently wearing stretchy headbands when I’m at home. Ugh.
Thanks once again for your time and effort Summer ! I love the neighborhood. I have a thing for the old trees & houses. Agreed that shorty socks are fun and quick! Especially a DK or worsted for around the house. I also have a cowlick in my ‘bang’ area. Ugh the trouble that thing has caused me my whole 65 yrs with certain styles. I just cut all of my off but it’s all getting in my eyes 😢 just got soooooo bored with a top bun everyday. Now I use a shit ton of curling mousse to try to get it out of my face. 😂 Your bangs look good btw. 😊
Summer, you are adorable. Love your bangs, your socks, your book.
Summer, this was a great video, but the real reason I’m commenting is to tell you I bought your book and I’m up to chapter 3. It’s the first time I’ve ever really enjoyed reading an instructional book. You have a great sense of humor and I highly recommend your book to everyone.

Beautiful! Knit a matching companion to one and wear the other two as a mismatch set! The pink and greenish one would be a cute set.
I think you are so cute and Im sitting here laughing and grinning while listening to you talk about your bangs. 😂 They make your eyes stand out even more!

My book arrives today! Excited😊
You are the best a color combinations Summer! My favorite is the pink fade shorty sock. 💕
I think you look great with bangs! They are a nice change and they will always grow out. BUT - they look great!
I’ll keep this “short” .. luv your yarn choices.. luv the shortie socks .. luv the free pattern and luv your channel 💜
Those shorties turned out SO CUTE! I think you should knit just one other and you’ll have two fun pairs! 😍
You know, the cool kids don't wear matching socks, so these are perfect. 😂 thanks Summer, you cracked me up ❤
I LOVE your bangs! They make your eyes POP and look so beautiful!!
Oh Summer! The faded socks are amazing.
I had bangs years ago, cute for a little bit then got annoying real fast. I too don’t like hair sweeping across my forehead.
Those fades 😍 Oh my daughters and I would wear holes in those socks!!!! Pulling out my sock yarn after dinner to make some parings.
I’ve been making your shorties all month 🎉

You are so amazing! I paused the video to leave this comment when I saw David in the upper right hand corner. 🤣
Your sense of humor … I love it!!!

Gorgeous socks, I love the green ones! 💚💚💚
I love your channel, bangs, book and the funtastic faded shorties! I’m older and totally understand the feral and fun phases 😂
Loved this episode…I have a lot of speckled fingering leftovers and am going to try these shorties!
Socks, you, podcast - all thoroughly gorgeous! Linda, UK 💕🧦🧶
You look amazing in bangs!!! KEEP THEM ❤

I feel you on the bangs. Mine are starting to grow out and I’m feeling a bit better but yeah never again… or at least not until I lose my mind again😂
I love your faded socks ....so beautiful. And the neighbourhood ....a dream 💜💙💚
Went thru the hair over many yrs but finally now in senior phase , I won the fight & finally settled that with hair😂 your hair looks cute. Sock knitted, toe up, for 16 yrs but you convinced me to knit faded socks 😍 speckled stash here I come !

Shorty socks are forever my favourite... I'm dashing off to examine my speckled yarn. Thank you so!
Love the fades, love your bangs. Hate my bangs 🙄! I always learn from you each week. Thank you.
Love your podcasts! You are the sock queen! 👑💗🧦
Je me suis achetée ton livre et j'ai par le fait, découvert tes vidéos et une magnifique personne!
I just bought your book and it's on the way to Uruguay right now!😂 Can't wait to get my hands on it!!❤

Loved every fun moment!
Beautiful neighborhood!!!!!!

I am going to knit my first pair of socks and yes I like shorty socks. Thank you for the pattern.
Wow! Beautiful. Thanks for the lesson in color fades
Your socks are gorgeous! I love a good fade!
Thank you! Starting one tonight!
Me immediately dropping everything to pick out yarn for faded socks lol! Another great video and I love, love your book😊
Love your shorties, the fades are wonderful
I know the feeling of bangret… try using a round brush and blow dryer to curl them away from your face and they will blend into your hair more. That’s what I’ve been doing with mine. ❤
"The bangs are in charge" I so deeply relate!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the pattern! Love the color choices❤
I always looking forward to watch your video. You are so funny 😊. I love the socks and they look good mismatch.

Thank you so much for amazing Summer inspiration 🥰 beautiful faded socks what not to like 🤩👍👏 I love it ❤️ you are so talented 🥇
All three socks are wonderful. I will certainly try fading on coming up socks. How exciting. I’ll also be ordering your book. Thank you!
Hi, Summer! I hope you and your family are safe and well after the terrible weather. I bought your book and think it would be a great addition to any knitter’s library, especially new knitters. It’s a beautiful book. I enjoy your podcast and look forward to watching many more. BTW, I am suffering through bangret and am currently wearing stretchy headbands when I’m at home. Ugh.
Love!! Looking forward to getting into my scraps to choose yarns for a fade.❤
Hi from south Australia. I love shortie socks, but it is coming into winter here
Currently knitting your Mazie socks, I love them! When I saw the pattern, I immediately stopped everything and cast them on! 😊
Thanks once again for your time and effort Summer ! I love the neighborhood. I have a thing for the old trees & houses. Agreed that shorty socks are fun and quick! Especially a DK or worsted for around the house. I also have a cowlick in my ‘bang’ area. Ugh the trouble that thing has caused me my whole 65 yrs with certain styles.

Mismatched socks work too. It seems I used up my speckled yarns in my granny stripe blanket. For now I’ll plat with stripes.
