I Knit Faded Shorty Socks (And I tell you exactly how to knit a pair of your own!)

[@catherinemcmullen2929]

Love these faded shorties!!!!! Your knitting is perfection!!!

[@allysonbrownmarcolini514]

You know, the cool kids don't wear matching socks, so these are perfect. 😂 thanks Summer, you cracked me up ❤

[@marletteclark3227]

Summer, you are adorable. Love your bangs, your socks, your book.

[@Brinalea1031]

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😂

[@SundayMorningKnits]

"The bangs are in charge" I so deeply relate!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@myrsineaconitum3768]

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!!

[@farmerswife51]

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!

[@marygrace7538]

I’ll keep this “short” .. luv your yarn choices.. luv the shortie socks .. luv the free pattern and luv your channel 💜

[@michellel1632]

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.

[@gokceh]

Those shorties turned out SO CUTE! I think you should knit just one other and you’ll have two fun pairs! 😍

[@tinaroquemartinsdewattevil4667]

Thank for this shorties, they are so cute.

[@heathersella8449]

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.

[@michelles.1930]

Your neighborhood looks dreamy.

[@ravensmom27]

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!

[@sweetpeasouthernhome]

Me immediately dropping everything to pick out yarn for faded socks lol! Another great video and I love, love your book😊

[@MarinaGvozdeva]

Thank you Summer! So looking forward to add more colourful and faded socks!

[@jenniferalthaus1523]

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.

[@claudiacampa4774]

You are the best a color combinations Summer! My favorite is the pink fade shorty sock. 💕

[@francescartwright9812]

I think you look great with bangs! They are a nice change and they will always grow out. BUT - they look great!

[@littlelionheadknits7306]

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 ❤

[@lindawatt1791]

The bangs look good!

[@patticlaude1]

Beautiful neighborhood!!!!!!

[@lugenepickering2883]

I LOVE your bangs! They make your eyes POP and look so beautiful!!

[@allthingsthread]

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

[@jsth2breethe]

I’m definitely inspired to buy new yarn lol

[@airwavesintheair]

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!

[@barbmckinlay5108]

Love the fades, love your bangs. Hate my bangs 🙄! I always learn from you each week. Thank you.

[@melissaspradley8901]

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.

[@roxiechristopherson7430]

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!

[@MissSholia]

Your socks are gorgeous! I love a good fade!

[@bostonl5315]

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.

[@tacistudio]

I really like your bangs but I understand your feelings as I don’t like the maintenance either. I think that wearing contacts really shows your beautiful eyes. Thank you for pattern instruction and I just got my book last week and I’m soooo very excited ❤💗

[@FloridaKnits]

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.

[@kathyellis2506]

Thanks! The shorties are beautiful and can’t wait to make a pair!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

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!!!

[@PriscillaWhite-Tocker]

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)

[@shellyshuey4702]

I’ve been making your shorties all month 🎉

[@TaylorOwen]

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. ❤

[@ihesharema]

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.

[@jeanrichards8042]

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 😁

[@milkjugs4771]

I think you could call the one on the left at 5:45 "fried rice" it's giving Chinese takeout in the best way. Omg also your neighborhood is so cute, reminds me of a lot of the other older neighborhoods in midwestern cities!

[@wronggeometry]

I just found your channel a few days ago when looking for something to watch as I knit my first pair of socks. Fell in love with all your designs and preordered your book this morning. I'm a sock fan in general. Not sure why it's taken so long for me ro knit them but very inspired by your designs and can't wait to make some.

[@janetshepherd9062]

I go thru the same bang thing. They start growing out and I hate that process so I cut them again. You look great! OMGosh! I love the socks!!❤

[@tricothon]

Thank you for the inspiration and the faded socks pattern, how awesome! Your bangs look fabulous but being a curly girl I understand the regrets 😂

[@diannemassie2169]

Love the socks, thanks for sharing got lots of ideas going through my head right now! love the bangs, a shock at first and looked great as the week went on. Also love the doggie cuddles just lost our 15year old cocker😢

[@susanwaddell6961]

Loved the video this week. Now I’m ready to make a faded pair of socks and use up some of my leftovers . Thanks. Also wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your book!! Also on a personal note I love your bangs !! Wishing you a very blessed summer season of sock knitting .

[@woolandcookies]

Loved every fun moment!

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

Those are awesome! I love shorties! ❤

[@jessicaolney4900]

I would totally just mix and match those 3 shorties together as "pairs" to wear. If later you make coordinated "pairs" super, and if not--still cute and functional! I did the same at about early 40s and got Invisalign to straighten my teeth and this last year did "bangs." Still rolling with the bangs but trying different lengths, angling, etc. Good luck and I hope they treat you well! (Your eyes look amazing with contacts--thought I love the glasses frames you have!)

[@zienabbakry4902]

I love your bangs ❤❤, and I'm in love with your socks 😍

[@kristinahill3708]

Such helpful tips for color selection! Thank you

[@ameliehouse]

😂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!)

[@maureenlehman139]

Oh Summer! The faded socks are amazing.

[@cwolfpack3]

The bangs look super cute and flattering!

[@JaneScully]

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.

[@mickiwhite4754]

My book arrives today! Excited😊

[@cheryldemea2509]

Oh, fantastic! Thank you so much for the pattern, also.

[@Alex-lv6cm]

Je me suis achetée ton livre et j'ai par le fait, découvert tes vidéos et une magnifique personne!

[@ravensrockknits]

Fabulous, as always ❤. Thank you 😊

[@hannahnova749]

You should look up how to do a simple twist braid, when I wanted my bangs to be just over, I'd make the tiniest twist braid with them to the side and pin them back that way. Looks cute and gets "rid" of the bangs for the day. 💚 You're creativity is beautiful and inspiring, thank you for sharing!!

[@valerieodonnell6764]

I’ve never knit any kind of fade and have not had the desire to do so. I’ve seen so many fade projects done where the transition is less than seamless and it’s put me off to be honest. However it is you did these looks so good! Will be checking out your description of the method and breaking out my scraps.

[@susanmarincic1106]

Love you and can’t wait to see you at Marie Green’s Knit Camp at the Coast! I got your book recently and took your class with Knit Stars🤩 And I love your bangs🥰

[@marybethreichow7188]

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!

[@BreCat7]

I love your channel, bangs, book and the funtastic faded shorties! I’m older and totally understand the feral and fun phases 😂

[@cbertrand4220]

So stinkin cute!!!❤❤❤ Will give these a try! Just got your book!!!❤

[@janicesawtell5807]

Loved this episode…I have a lot of speckled fingering leftovers and am going to try these shorties!

[@hooksbookspodcast]

These videos have enabled me to buy alllllll the sock patterns!!!!!!! Keep em coming!!!!!!

[@gwendolynhemer5790]

Just found your channel!!! - and your bangs look adorable on you!! Thanks for your insight re “everything socks”

[@clairerobinson6571]

Shorty socks are forever my favourite... I'm dashing off to examine my speckled yarn. Thank you so!

[@tanjavormdohre7481]

I love your faded socks ....so beautiful. And the neighbourhood ....a dream 💜💙💚

[@susanhicks770]

I am just finishing my second ever pair of socks and they are shorties!! I used guidance from your book and am just experimenting with length of cuff and leg. I am trying a shadow wrap heel this time. My first pair of socks I did heel flap and gusset. I must say I’m not a fan of picking up those stitches! Love the way it fits though. Oh well….onward!!!! It’s fun learning how to knit socks. I think I’m getting hooked!

[@julianaleverriergarcia6181]

I just bought your book and it's on the way to Uruguay right now!😂 Can't wait to get my hands on it!!❤

[@nataliepaula2920]

Love them 😀

[@ChristinaWalker-hm8nr]

Thanks Summer Lee. Always love your videos, book recommendations and tv/movies. Having fun reading your book and mapping out my sock projects. Recommendation, only because I'm a fan of PBS and anything British. Mr. Bates vs. the Post Office is a wonderful series. It's only 3 episodes in so far and based on a true story. Finishing a hat project and on to socks! Cheers!

[@darlenewatkins4999]

LOVE your hair!!!!

[@sandrasavoie8641]

Gorgeous socks, I love the green ones! 💚💚💚

[@bostonl5315]

Hey Summer, saw the news about the tornado in OK. Hope you and your family are doing well.

[@ccam504]

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 !

[@suewilson2829]

Love this!!! Can't wait to try!

[@colleenwilson6869]

Love the socks so much! I am getting my hair cut tomorrow and was going to give bangs another try. I think your hair looks cute!

[@victoriacutler3612]

You are always so fun Summer! Love hanging out with you. LOVE the Schitts creek reference. The best. Whenever we have a conundrum my son and I will just tell each to “ fold it in” 😂

[@michellemattenson1283]

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!

[@knotanitter]

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 !)

[@marialahens9428]

Bang looks great

[@summerking8659]

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

[@cynthiabroadbent3836]

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 :)

[@howysmith15]

Thank you! Starting one tonight!

[@ceciliab6657]

I wish you could make shorties in all of the example fades you showed! Those color combinations are so beautiful.

[@colettebouvier9201]

You look great with bangs! Go with the flow. 😉

[@micheledelacruz4301]

Summer, your comments and videos re so funny and insightful! Wow you went la bang bang on us! My little sister is famous for bangret one-day she hated how short she cut her bangs that she ordered real hair bangs online, that cost a pretty penny, and they were too long so she "trimmed" then and when she went to attach the m to get head/hair she realized she cut them the same length as her real bangs we laughed so hard and so she waits...

[@kpags6681]

Hi Summer your bangs look great but I totally get not wanting them! They’ll grow out before you know it. Love those faded socks:)

[@OllieandMay]

Love Love Love your Shorty Socks! The yarns go so well Together. Cute and Beautiful❤

[@terrigarren4744]

You look amazing in bangs!!! KEEP THEM ❤

[@natalieschumacher4729]

Hi from south Australia. I love shortie socks, but it is coming into winter here

[@shelleymisenheimer6515]

I’m having so much fun watching each episode! Love your book too it’s sitting on the table next to me and I just cast on a new pair. 😊

[@anna42623]

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. :)

[@carolinelester2027]

I have only just discovered you and I love your videos and patterns, you are so down to earth and funny, I live in an old house too in the UK so it was nice to see your property and your neighbourhood ❤

[@eva-mariaforde2288]

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

[@yogiknitgirl]

This was such a delightful video! Love the shorties and your color choices are amazing! Can’t wait to start a pair! Ishare so much with us and we appreciate your talent and knowledge so much! I love your book and your video course on Knitstar! I am learning so much!!!!!! Donna (Virginia Beach, VA)

[@leonawilliams8102]

I just love watching your videos ! You are so much fun and just make me laugh. Shorties are my favorite.
