I Knit the Most Perfect PINK Socks!

[@constancedemartino2137]

18 seconds in and i'm already wanting a pair of pink socks. i'm so impressionable.

[@hollandwood2769]

I loved the weather lesson! When I was 10 our car broke down in OK. We looked across the field and saw the tornado funnel. Thankfully, it did not come our way as we were sitting ducks with no where to shelter. That was 52 years ago and I still remember it. Beautiful socks!!

[@justbewvl7280]

Glad to know I’m not the only one that goes outside to stare at their plants. 😊 Thank you for the discount code. Love the pink socks.

[@postulatedspace]

The intense weather education here at the beginning of the program. Dang Summer. You hit me hard!

[@MissMandiGirl]

Without even looking I know exactly what day you recorded this one 🤦🏻‍♀️ That was a tough night. I live in southern Oklahoma and we had 5 of those tornados in our area 😞 destroyed dollar tree warehouse, dollar general, homeland store and the entire downtown area of Sulphur and so many homes and so much debit and destruction. We were very lucky and my family was safely hunkered down in the shelter for four hours. My knitting helps me so much during the tornado season as well as all seasons of life! Pink is my favorite color especially this shade of pink! Thank you summer for another great episode!

[@laurienesdahl6817]

Hi from Ada! I am glad your family was safe. Scary night

[@WovenTalesDesigns]

i learned so much about tornados! I am obsessed with warm toned pinks, that yarn was perfect for your socks ♥️

[@anna42623]

I watched Twister because of you the other day, Summer! What an amazing movie. Hope everyone stays safe this storm season!!

[@farmerswife51]

Doing laundry when you have a tornado watch is perfectly logical! We live in an area without municipal sewer and water, meaning we rely on electricity to have water. When we have a t-watch, I fill a few water jugs for drinking, and my washing machine for toilet flushing. If we don't have any storms, I have water ready for laundry. I am loving your new book so much and pray for a quieting of the weather. Best wishes.

[@shetlandlace]

Knitting is perfect for severe weather. I knitted my way through the disastrous Wildfire Season of 2017. Smoke filled my town's skies from late July until October. It was a gift when the smoke would clear enough that you could see across the street. Not sure what this summer will bring-but I am armed and ready. In other words I have lots of yarn. I totally agree with you on the eye of partridge heel.

[@dostopitnow]

I love that you were watching Ryan Hall Y'all. I follow him, too. I was thinking of you during those days. Love the socks, they are gorgeous! I will be knitting a pair soon. Heading over for the pattern now!

[@lmjeleonore2055]

Ok I'm all in for anything sock related BUT the general weather knowledges/states related weather knowledges at the beginning of the video ?? I'm a DEFINITELY here for it 😂 ! Very thankful for each and every of your video btw ! Xx 💞

[@judycleland9087]

Holy crap Tornadoes are super scary for mountain folk like me. I lived in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada for a few years and their weather can be terrifying 😱 I’m a Rocky mountain girl and our fears are forest fires which have been horrible the last few years. Love the socks.

[@jandearlivinglife4433]

Hi from a fellow neighbour a hour north of Edmonton! We here where I live last year had a major wind storm and lots of stuff got destroyed it was intense.. I think the hardest is the -30 s

[@RobbieHutchins]

I can’t believe you gave up a potential career as a meteorologist/storm chaser to design socks and be a sock supermodel 😂 You’re awesome and I look forward to watching every episode. Big hugs 🤗

[@clairerobinson6571]

Growing up, my dream job was to be a meteorologist - love the tornado chat! Also, that you are all safe... Last week i just had to cast on some faded shortie socks, now I need the perfect pink socks too. Maybe I can name mine after the highly unusual sightings of the Northern Lights that have been visible across the UK this weekend. Which I slept through... Happy Sunday!

[@milkjugs4771]

as a meteorologist and a sock knitter, seeing the SPC Outlook in your thumbnail made me so excited lol hope you stayed safe

[@milkjugs4771]

wait also do you have a meteorological background? you know so much more than average person!

[@ThundermansThunder]

@@milkjugs4771 Since she lives in "tornado alley," she probably acquired a lot of meteorological knowledge just from monitoring weather conditions so often out of necessity for her own, and her family's safety. It is quite an interesting science!

[@thecraftyreader]

Loving Metrology with Summer and loving those socks! ❤️😁

[@FayGavigan-sr5dy]

No extreme weather in the U.K. but extreme excitement. It’s finally here my Sock Project Book 😍

[@candy9986]

Finally, got hold of your new book! Congratulations to you🌹 It's a gorgeous book. Heard there were three weak tornados in Tulsa this past Wednesday. Stay safe 💕 Love those pink socks 🧦 🤗

[@corrierobertson375]

I absolutely love that you show trying the socks on and in shoes!

[@Kpup]

ahhh! I am going to need to tag you in a photo of the pink Stillwater socks I made a while back. They are my FAVORITE handknit socks!!!!

[@libbyheasman3413]

I loved the tornado lesson! It's so interesting as an Australian and was so foreign when we lived in Atlanta where we had a couple of these storm warnings. My son and I just watched a video on OK and tornados. I'm going to show him this video and who knows he may come to love knitting as much as I do.

[@michellemattenson1283]

So glad your family was safe. Living in Missouri, we have been getting tornado alerts as well. Very scary.. your pink socks are so cute!

[@maureenlehman139]

Love the socks💕. I’m so glad the tornadoes passed you. I can’t imagine how scary that is

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

I want pink socks, too! I like pink as much as you. I’m going to buy your book.

[@LittleKittenLoops]

Great socks!!! Great pink!!! Also coming from the UK I know very little about tornados, so this was really interesting! Thank you xx

[@leslieivie8592]

Your tornado lesson was totally engrossing, concise, and set the spooky mood. Loved seeing your unique flag and neighborhood. Here in Arizona we have dust storms which mostly ‘destroy’ our pools, air, and eyeballs (late June-August). Just completed my first pair of Hibernal socks. Now time to buy that beautiful Stillwater pattern!

[@GiFtEoS]

Wow, what a good teacher you are...thank you for these interesting facts! Love your socks and this bright yellow really pops. P.S. I do stare at my plants, flowers and trees everyday😂

[@colettebouvier9201]

Your podcasts are always enjoyable Summer! Very interesting learning about "twisters" and I look forward to knitting the Stillwater Socks. Thanks for the discount!😀

[@deannaknopp5020]

So happy to see you! ❤ And that your area was spared the tornados. My anxiety would be ramped up with just the warnings!! 😅

[@dianagoldermann1005]

I just knitted a pair of pink socks to give to a friend of my daughter’s They turned out so nicely.

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

PS: You could be on the Weather Channel! I love the pink socks. Sometimes we have tornadoes in Virginia, too.

[@pleasepleasethebees]

Good to see you Summer! I can only imagine that living in Tornado Alley is pretty anxiety inducing - no wonder your knitting tension is tight if you're watching storm news! I'm in Arizona and, my family - whenever we see extreme weather in the news we always say "Thank you Arizona". Half jokingly and half earnestly 🤣 because, of course AZ has it's own hazards, but they are more predictable than tornados, blizzards, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc etc. Anyway, glad you made it through ok!

[@ihesharema]

I love the weather lesson!! Learning something new everyday 😊 lovely socks 🧦 can’t wait to crack open your book and get knitting 🧶

[@heatherharmsen5599]

I've lived in OK since 1998, and I now have a better understanding of our crazy weather after watching your video! I was knitting from your book during the "spicy" storms, ready to head to the shelter if need be. Perfect pink socks! And love the name of the pattern, very fitting. 😊

[@marilyndenton-giles5204]

I am so relieved to see your video pop up. I have been watching the weather patterns forming around your area. Good to see you came out unscathed.

[@tacistudio]

Love the cute pink socks and feel much more informed about tornadoes now. So glad the tornados passed by without too much damage💗

[@littlelionheadknits7306]

So glad you survived all the tornados!!

[@ansvantol6524]

Love looking at your vlog from the Netherlands (we have no tornado’s s but lots of rain these days 🌧) while knitting……..socks of course. Thanks I like watching you👍

[@esthermartens5814]

Such a cute pattern! Thankful I saw the video today so I could use the discount! You talked so calmly about tornados. We get them where I live, and I’m never as calm as you 😂

[@benaims]

Stillwaters is one of my all time favorite patterns!!! It is my comfort knit I have it on needles pretty much at all times. I bet I have knit it over 20x lol.

[@Ameeta.theinkystitcher]

The tornado lesson reminded me of my childhood in Wichita. I just got your book earlier this week and am LOVING it❤ Glad you guys were ok with the storms from earlier this week.

[@Animalbandittt]

Summer, you always are wearing the coolest shirts❤

[@debbiethomas4726]

Live in Jenks and even though I get tired of all the weather interruptions to our TV shows, I enjoyed the information you shared. Love this sock pattern!

[@josemuylaert3466]

Those socks are adorable ! You almost make tornado's sound exciting, but I am glad we don't have them here. Hope you will all stay clear from danger and damage this season.

[@karyncook4291]

Your socks are SO cute! I had to buy the pattern. Thank you for the discount! I’ll be knitting them for one of my daughters, who happens to live in Stillwater, MN. Pink & light blue are her favorite colors, so that’s what colors I’ll be using. I’m so glad the tornado’s missed you! Thanks, again!

[@ginnyl1717]

Such adorable socks! Glad to hear the tornadoes passed you by. I live in the northeast now, but my Midwest heart took a dive on hearing that siren sample! Our town siren was only a couple of blocks away from our house.

[@teresahammett2200]

Love your videos! The sock is beautiful. Stay as safe as possible with all this weather throughout May. Thanks for the weather tutorial. Very interesting.

[@michelles.1930]

I loved the weather lesson!

[@joywilson6067]

I love the socks. ❤I’m hoping Amazon will deliver your Sock Project book to me in the UK this week. Fascinating learning about tornadoes! Thank you. 🌷

[@shamszakhour6076]

Your socks are beautiful (and I'm not a "pink person") and your weather narrative was fascinating!!

[@8Gammie]

Loved the weather education. Living in PNW, we do not get any of that kind of weather. And, you home is so cozy and beautiful. I would be sitting, knitting, too. :) Loved the entire video and the finished socks with surprise color toe are amazing!!!!!

[@sandrasavoie8641]

Thanks for the meteorological lesson! I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba which is straight north of Tulsa. We too are considered part of Tornado Alley, with our ugliest storms coming in June 🌪️. Love those pink socks! Stay safe!

[@maureendesmarais6955]

LOVE Coates & Co yarns. They are so vibrant. I have several in my stash as well as her advent calendar of minis. I knit a beautiful striped sweater out of her autumn mini set. Your weather comes to Ohio the next day. It was a blustery week last week. Ohio already has twice the usual number of tornadoes this spring.

[@jenniferberry7743]

Thanks for the weather lesson! Glad you all are well. Knitting, especially pink socks, makes everything better!!

[@NancyCarll-dw4od]

I love this pattern. I also love your book. I'm so inspired to knit socks!!!!

[@jerananelms1760]

Loved watching you go through a tornado watch. I am a retired flight attendant and after going through severe weather for 46 years it was fun to learn what you know about these storms. I am born and raised and still live in the Los Angeles area so I can talkabout earthquakes but not tornados on the ground. Love your socks and house and cute neighborhood, I also love your book.

[@thekindles1183]

haha! I have googled swimsuits that hold your butt in haha! I just look so forward to your videos!!! Loved the weather chat too. All the best, Kimberly

[@laurakirk3481]

Beautiful socks! I’ve got the pattern. Thank you! Pink is my favorite color.

[@catherinekhalili4412]

I learned more about tornadoes from you than the weather channel! Love those socks 🌸🌸

[@nanhendrickson5012]

Summer Lee: full time knitter, part time weather girl. lol. Being from OK, I totally get the late night tornado watching. Beautiful socks! Off to ravelry to purchase.

[@Vivcatkemp]

Ha! My first time watching and I get spicy storm / tornado action!! I am a knitting fan and a weather fan. Super thankful you didn’t have any tornado activity! Super fun to watch and those socks are beautiful 😍 Now I’m off to watch all you videos 😂

[@amandam158]

The 5/6 storms arrived at 3am in my area in Arkansas. I think NWS is evaluating where three F-1 tornadoes moved through. I think I'm going to take my knitting with me the next time we're hunkering down in the closet!

[@barbmckinlay5108]

Love them. We all knew you had to put a color pop in there. 👍🏼. Be safe!

[@StitchesOfSass]

Pink is my FAVORITE color!!! 😍😍😍 also I too love to knit while watching severe weather alerts/news. You’re in tornado alley, I’m in hurricane alley (I know that’s not a real thing but for us here in coastal SC it is lol).

[@gailrodgers2233]

I love learning about other parts of America (I live in Michigan). Thank you for the meteorology lesson.

[@christielamb2894]

Summer, Your socks turned out so great! I learned so much from this video! I was really scared, for you, waiting for the storm to pass. I'm so glad you had uneventful nights storm wise. I live in earthquake territory CA myself and I don't think I could handle the stress of knowing that there were tornadoes near by. I'd be living in a storm shelter on a daily basis, lol! Thank you so much for the discount on your beautiful sock pattern. Stay safe and happy stitching! ✌️🩷🧶🧦

[@Andracrafts]

swimming suits that don't let your butt fall out - my faves are Land's End. I have family in OK and specifically the Tulsa area. I've seen some pretty spectacular storms there. Tornadoes are still a recurring nightmare for me.

[@cindik7268]

I’m very interested in meteorology, so thank you for the lesson. I’m happy that you were not involved in any tornado activity. Your peachy pink socks were beautiful. Of course, I purchased the pattern. Thank you for the discount. Looking forward to your next video. ❤

[@Meredith36]

Beautiful socks!!! This is why I left TX; tornados are too terrifying for me. Bravo to you for handling it so well. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@lauramcd680]

I laughed out loud over your beautiful pink toes. Thank you for sharing. Love that pattern. Heading over to get my copy!

[@shannonrowland6803]

So happy for a new episode! I loved it! Every day without a Summer Lee video is a dull and lifeless day. It's a huge lift to open KZbin and see that a new episode exists. 😁 I loved your socks, your weather tutorial, and your delightful laugh (as always).

[@ericallerton809]

❤wow!!!! What weather!!! Love the sweet socks ,,love that peachy color,,,and the pop of color at toes,,,, Elaine 🏠🎉

[@knittielynnie]

We live in KY and have family in Jenks, and in TN and AR, so on your second tornado sock night I stayed up til 1 am watching the weather and knitting a vanilla sock. I can't concentrate on a patterned sock and weather watch 😏 Glad to hear that the air was too dry!

[@debpennington638]

Thanks for the update both on the socks (beautiful color!) and the weather situation. I've been thinking about you a lot and hoping you and your family are safe and sound. Take good care

[@tovalieberman8326]

I love the weather update special in this episode. 😂 These socks are so pretty, I just had to buy the pattern. Can’t wait to work them up!

[@griff522]

Love watching your videos every week. I always learn so much!

[@stephanief7679]

I grew up in the middle of Kansas. Salina to be exact. And I LOVE being in severe weather. It’s a thing that can’t be explained. It’s cozy, it’s exciting. We have had our share of tornados yes. Do you remember your mom shouting “stay away from the windows!!” lol. Here in Denver, we just don’t get great storms and weather like that much. Loving the socks!!❤

[@JulieChartrand-y2l]

Always love watching your podcasts! Love the 🩷 socks!

[@bobbieburrs2506]

Hi, Summer! Your pink socks are beautiful, and the toes make them YOU, for sure! I'm getting the pattern, even though the pattern might be a bit advanced for me. You are SO arty! I say that in a GOOD way! My dad was an artist (mostly a commercial artist) and went to Pratt Institute. He passed away at age 90 eight years ago. I definitely learned about tornadoes in your video and a NEW WORD: tornadic. I have seriously never heard that word here in upstate NY. LOL! I would have been SO SCARED and would not have been able to sit still, let alone knit. Your dog is adorable and so are YOU! Bobbie

[@Knitternat]

I love those socks! Thanks for tornado info and updates, glad you’re all ok. I’m fascinated with severe weather, especially tornados. My grandparents lost their whole farm and house in a tornado when I was in 5th grade and my mom survived a tornado that hit a shopping mall she was working at. So thankful for accurate weather forecasting.

[@dianachristie5700]

We were in a level 3 for both fronts and had several level 1 tornados, I cannot imagine a level purple! Happy socks! Love your shoes to show them off!

[@yarnstories201]

I enjoyed this weather/knitting vlog sooooo much!! These socks are so lovely, I need some plain ish yarn to make these asap! ❤

[@vadec5909]

Your video was great! I like hearing about weather, I see in the news about, tornados in the southern US always. The socks look great and I love them with your shoes.

[@maryannbergeron9531]

I just ordered the pattern but had no place to put in the discount. I love the sock pattern so much that I am not disappointed. I have pink yarn and will be starting my pair today!!!! ❤

[@vickichapel7447]

Such beautiful socks! I also love that when you set up your cozy knitting spot, there are books stacked on the table also. A great way to take a break from knitting and browse/read a book for a while! Glad you guys are safe from the weather. Looking forward to another video soon!

[@janetkemper9177]

Those socks are beautiful! I also enjoyed the weather /storm talk….. so glad you and your family are ok. After seeing your post about watching Twister…..I thought of you when I saw a trailer for a new tornado/storm chaser movie that comes out this summer. I think it was called Twisters.

[@Kaet_RN]

Oh my gosh I learned so much here- I have always wondered why there are so many tornadoes at night. My anxiety would struggle if I lived in Oklahoma. I feel for you 😢

[@BostonMelG]

The socks are beautiful! And this New England knitter loved the weather lessons!!!!

[@kleediker1]

Your house and street look so similar to the east Dallas neighborhood I grew up in. As a kid I was terrified of tornados and couldn’t enjoy a gloomy stormy day until I moved out of tornado alley. I’m glad y’all stayed safe!

[@subellekazooti9589]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love your bangs and your hair in general. It frames your face beautifully. I've seen several podcasters showing your book and all of them love it. Love the perfect pink socks.

[@mrsclaunch]

🖐🏻also in the Midwest. I loved your explanation of our “normal” spring weather. The more we understand the less surprising it can be. Ty

[@cynthiamatlock1605]

Now I need a pair of perfect pink socks! Yours are fabulous. I live in the Texas Panhandle and knew about the dry line but I have not heard of the CAPE index before. I’m glad you are safe.

[@OllieandMay]

So glad you weren’t affected by the Tornadoes. We get Cyclones further up in our state , so can only imagine the stress of a Tornado. Oh My! Your new socks are Gorgeous, loved the Surprise with the Toes! Stay Safe xx❤

[@lisah75.31]

I just finished a pair of pink Leap Year socks, last evening. Thanks for the pattern. 😊

[@markwilliams1824]

Cutest pattern ❤ had to have it for Mother’s Day 🎉 thank you for the discount .. makes a huge difference in AUD 🥳

[@stitchedscorpio]

i casted on a pink stripey socks two days ago! using 4 pinks in my stash and i’m loving it

[@murberdraws]

First of all I hope you and the family will hunker down and be safe!! Second, braces! As an adult who stopped wearing her retainer as a kid, I went back for around of Invisalign and wished I had gone for traditional braces bc I had some needed toof rotation that Invisalign doesn’t do the best with correcting. I religiously wear my retainers every night now. 😅 Third, I need a pair of pink socks! I bought a handful of your patterns yesterday and can’t wait until my sock yarn order comes in so I can dive into them. Last, I just noticed you are sked’d to come to FF Seattle!! 👀🩷

[@p_broom426]

Beautiful socks. I want a pair in that pattern now. We had tornado warnings last week in Tennessee also.

[@Brinalea1031]

I watched the storms on Ryan Halls KZbin channel and was thinking of you. I am glad your area was safe. Love the Radiohead tee!

[@cynthiacorbin2200]

Wow! That was riveting viewing! Thanks for doing that, and I sure think you handle the worry and fear in a most healthy way--Knit pink socks! And I am going to make/start a pair of your Stillwater Socks (already in my Rav library) as soon as I finish this note!! I don't have tornados to deal with, but sometimes everyday has its challenges in other ways.
