Thanks Summer!

[@maxx6050]

Good tutorial, thanks, Summer!

[@jackiemarques2087]

I use a toothpick as a cable needle for socks. Smooth it first with fine sandpaper

[@summerleedesignco.6471]

Oh that’s GENIUS!!! Gonna try that!

[@jackiemarques2087]

Summer Lee Design Co. lol don’t know if it’s genius but it works really well

[@katibuggg1]

I thought cables were gonna be hard but your video is super clear and makes it look easy. Thank you

[@kathleenh216]

Thanks for making this so simple to understand. I have always been afraid of cables, but not anymore:)

[@ladonnavivod9174]

Very helpful thank you

[@leaxpops]

Oh.my.gosh........ you just made that SOOOOOOO simple!!!

[@summerleedesignco.6471]

Yay! I’m glad it was helpful! 😁

[@kannuthakur4320]

Please give a full tutorial for these beautiful socks please ❤

[@joycem3159]

Once again you have made something I thought to be so complicated to be so easy. Thank you so much. I watched this as I sit and knit my second pair of I’m So Basic sock ☺️☺️

[@amekat]

bought the little black sock pattern and was looking for a few tips! thank you! looking forward to another fun knitting project

[@andreabush1742]

Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@colettedill-lerner5620]

I have been wanting to learn cables but intimidated but after knitting your Totally Rad Ribbed sock I knew I would be able to figure it out with your pattern. Can't wait to start this (after I get off second sock island).

[@claudiacampa4774]

So clearly explained. Thank you!

[@summerleedesignco.6471]

Of course!

[@Lindsay8585]

I’m so thrilled to have found you! I am working on your scattered pearl socks right now and I love it! Your aesthetic and patterns are beautiful! ❤️

[@jennistevenson796]

Great video and pattern. I just don’t get a bit on the chart as the chart showed 11 stitches and the cable 4 symbol was on two stiches. Is that just for the two stitches you put on the cable needle ? I think writing this comment has helped me understand !! Thank you x

[@donnaleear6116]

Thank You Summer! Your teaching/instruction technique is so easy to follow and helpful. With your guidance, I am hoping to master socks...Any recommendation for Continental knitters? Cable knitting as a Continental knitter is a real PIA! Also, do you have a video with Magic Loop sock knitting in DK or Worsted weight yarn? Appreciate you!

[@summerleedesignco.6471]

Worsted and DK is on my list!! And I’m learning to knit continental, but my tension is still a hot mess, so I still need way more practice!

[@asmaaismail7235]

How to knit the NO STICTH?

[@newvwbeetle]

I have yet to try cables, but I’ve seen that you can do them without the extra needle. Thoughts?

[@summerleedesignco.6471]

Yes! You can absolutely do them without an extra needle. It stresses me out to do it that way on sock yarn, but I don’t use the extra needle when doing them on worsted!

[@aprilfrank7084]

I love the fact that you "throw" knit. I still throw knit. I'm trying to teach myself to flick knit or continental knit to increase my speed and improve tension and it's a disaster. Do you have experience with these techniques?

[@brandess13]

I need to know when you’re purling. I think I see that you’re doing it, but I’m not sure
