"I eat and sleep and breathe knitting socks!"
After designing her first sweater and becoming enamored with the process, Summer decided to design a pair of socks...and another...and another...then the social media world took notice - and the rest is history.
Summer loves seeing beautiful, colorful yarn turn into socks. As she became more and more confident, the color she loved in the yarn began to trickle into her life.
"Since knitting socks, my whole life has exploded in color" she says.
Summer recently achieved a lifelong goal of publishing her first book, complete with 25 new patterns. She says her Knit Stars workshop (originally published as part of Knit Stars Season 7: Texture and Wonder) is the perfect companion to her new book, because there's nothing like meeting her in Knit Stars' feature-film-quality format, and having her walk you through step by step!
Socks are what Summer is passionate about and we know her energy and love of socks will inspire you to create a sock...or at least 2.
BONUS: Get four exclusive patterns by Summer with infinite possibilities.

I'm Shelley Brander, the founder of Knit Stars, and I know how it can feel to be alone in your creative passion. For my first few decades as a knitter, I was on my own! When, at age 35, I pivoted from my broadcast production career and opened a local yarn store, I saw firsthand how one great teacher can truly change your knitting life.
I created Knit Stars to bring the best teaching to knitters and crocheters around the globe. I used to be afraid to fly, but now I travel to remote locations around the world, taking you directly into the homes and studios of the most brilliant designers and difference-makers.
Now in its 9th year, Knit Stars has become a learning platform like no other. With feature-film quality production, documentary yarn stories combined with workshops you own and can return to again and again. Knit Stars gives us all a place to grow - in confidence and connection.
I personally invite you to join us. Wherever you are in your journey, you truly deserve the Knit Stars Masterclass experience. You and your creativity are worth it!

"I want to thank Summer Lee for inspiring me to try socks. I had tried several years ago with my friend but seemed to have a mental block. Thank you Summer for the wonderful class. I have now made 5 1/2 pairs."
- Carol O.
"I feel like I’ve been given a treasure map. I am so inspired, comforted, and grateful for the diversity of the workshops… Each one of the workshops has given me insight into not just how to knit, but why I knit."
- Mary
"I so much enjoyed Summer Lee’s workshop! I followed her advice and first knitted her basic sock pattern to become familiar with the basics of sock knitting. I used a ball of sock yarn that I had in my stash for many years. I love my new sock!! It fits perfectly! The second sock is almost done as well. Now I am brave enough to knit some socks with the lovely yarn that followed her workshop. I am so grateful to have Knit Stars in my life and have learned so much from every Knit Stars season!"
