News: “Become a Fearless Knitter” To Be Published in September of 2013
Yes, that’s right – I’ve got a contract with a major publisher! I’ll be writing a remarkable new knitting book called Become a Fearless Knitter.
I’ll be working with Wiley Craft – the same folks who published the …For Dummies books and Teach Yourself Visually… Knitting.
Want more details?
- The book will take knitters all the way from learning the purl stitch through knitting toe-up, two-at-a-time socks. Fearlessly.
- Topics include Lace, Cables, Magic Loop (of course), plus a bunch of new patterns.
- It will also have tons of photos and links to KnitFreedom videos for the tricky bits.
Basically, it’s going to be awesome – the best knitting resource that has ever been written. Of course I’ll be announcing more details here as the time gets closer – KnitFreedom readers will be first in line to get signed books and other freebies.
Announcing The New Website, New App, And The Topic Of The Next Video E-Book
Over the past two years, I’ve been hearing your frustrations and collecting your suggestions about how knitfreedom.com could be much better.
- You want to be able to access your e-books without remembering a bunch of passwords.
- You want to be able to watch videos on your iPads, Kindle Fires, Androids, and smartphones without having to download huge files.
- You want to watch videos offline as you travel in your RV.
Most of these changes can’t be done here on this site. That’s why I’ve been working on a major overhaul, the first tidbits of which you’re hearing about now.
A New App Will Replace The Downloadable E-Books
Instead of downloading a PDF on your computer or an iBooks version on your iPad, all your e-books and free patterns will live in a synchronized desktop and mobile app.
As soon as you buy an e-book, it will start downloading to the app, and you’ll be able to watch the videos online or offline once it’s downloaded, and I’ll be speeding up the downloads with new video-compression tricks and software.
The New Website Will Keep Your E-Books, Favorites, and Forum Posts In A Personal Dashboard
The new knitfreedom.com will be a sign-in site just like Facebook – once you’re signed in, you can access your ebooks, look at any of the free patterns, post in the forum, mark posts as favorites, add e-books to wishlists, give gift certificates, and a lot more.
Plus, you’ll never have to see a “sign-up here” form again! Yes, the new site will already know you’re signed in.
I’ll be giving you more updates as things move along, and I’ll surely be enlisting some of you adventurous readers as beta testers for the new site. Yippee!
The Topic Of The Next KnitFreedom Video E-Book Is… Beginner and Intermediate Lace
KnitFreedom subscribers voted on which ebook they wanted to see next, and Lace was the most popular choice. Basic sweaters, custom-fit sweaters, and Entrelac knitting weren’t far behind, so those will be next.
I hope to bring you the Lace e-book on the new app – but that will depend on lots of different pieces coming together, so we will have to see.
So, It’s Time To Celebrate!

Very nice write-up. I definitely appreciate this site. Thanks!
I have actually learned to knit from your knitting superstar program. I am ready to try the pattern for toe up socks 2 at a time with worsted weight yarn and size 8 needles. I’m so very excited
Congratulations on the new book deal and KNITfreedom’s birthday.
Happy Birthday! I used the like button for Facebook…
shared your website on face book. I do love the mitten and soxs patterns
Love the idea of an app. So excited about my new interest in knitting–due to your videos. My knit store had told and shown me how to do M1L and M1R several years ago, but I just couldn’t under-stand until I saw your video. Your site has renewed my love for knitting, and I have more confidence I’ll have a great finished product. I’ve shared the site with others! Also, I’ve purchased the same color yarn you are giving away and know I love it. I used it for my first ever pair of socks–they are a perfect fit. Hope my name is drawn.
Hi, Liat. Happy birthday! I am 60 years old and have been knitting on and off since I was 9. I have learnt more since I discovered your blog this year than I learnt in all the other years. You have made knitting new and exciting again!
Congratulations on your completing your second year on the Net, Lait. I’ve enjoyed your tutorials in the past and look forward to spending lots of time with the ones I bought in your very generous sale.
Happy Birthday liat and Knit Freedom I look forward to learning Magic Loop for knitting socks and for the energetic support that comes forward thru your tutorials Knit On!
Happy 2nd Birthday. And best wishes for many more. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge. Your videos are great. I have 5 now and so there’s no excuse not to become a fantastic knitter! Congratulations on your book deal – I look forward to hearing more.
I shared on Pin interest . I love the idea of the app as I just bought an iPad and use it for reading.
Forgot to put what I did. Pinned on Pinterest and liked on Facebook. Loved the videos I bought so far. Looking forward to more.
I just bought 2 videos today and love them. Thanks for the coupon and the great videos. Will get more and am looking forward to the new ap.
I shared on facebook and pinterest, Happy Birthday !!
Happy 2nd Birthday!! I am so glad I discovered you on youtube last year!
Thank you so very much for the coupon! I am so excited about the classes I was able to sign up for.
I don’t do the social media thing, but I am always making sure that a skilled knitting friend of mine, and a few beginners, know about you . . . I did that today too. :)
I love your videos, I have two already and just bought two more. Congratulations on two years and the book deal!
Posted on Facebook. Love that Mmmmm- Malibrigo yarn.

Happy Birthday, Liat! I am now the proud owner of 4 video E-Books! (3 of which I purchased today) and am so grateful for your generous 50% off gift.
shared on facebook! i’m grateful for your emails. they have helped so much with my knitting progress, and your knit faster tutorial is great! congrats on the upcoming book, and please keep all the useful info coming!
I shared on twitter (https://twitter.com/cmouse01/status/252231524655702016)
I’m a fairly new knitter (just a couple of years) but have already learned so much. The great tips and videos I’ve seen have lead me to already try lace knitting, fair isle and knitting socks – even though I’ve made less than a dozen items total!
Happy Birthday, KnitFreedom, and thank you Liat for sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us. the past two years. I’ve only “known” you a few months and I’ve learned so much. I happened upon you on the Internet as a frustrated beginner knitter who just “couldn’t get it” and was desparately looking for some online videos that I could play again and again until I got it right. Your videos are so well done that I feel confident the first time I watch them that I can master the skill or technique that your teaching and have the confidence to try my hand(s) at it. After trying two of your other courses, I bought the “Becoming a Knitting Superstar” and I am so glad I did as it is my go-to resource for all kinds of questions. With your birthday gift to us, I’m expanding my library to include the videos on knitting mittens two at a time and mastering cables. Thank you for sharing these with me at a price I can afford !! Congratulations on being the best knitting resource on the Web.
Congrats to you Liat…I have only been knitting and crocheting for 5 months (self taught) but after finding you,there’s really no other LEARNING site for me and I highly recommend you to everyone I know ,including my sister who has been doing knitting for yearsss BUT was looking for an easy pair of socks to knit,so I hooked her up with you and she was sooooo happy with your toes up socks..the newest one with the new heal!!! so WE BOTH Thank You for being a true artist in this field!!! and Iam thrilled that your going even more techno in this too as I use electronicic everything!!! lol
Happy Birthday with many,many more fullfilled ones ahead!!!
I have pinned you and F.B.’ed you so all my friend who knit know all abut it too !!!
Blessed Be Liat

Happy Birthday! I posted about you and the sale on Knitting Paradise as well as sent links to all my knitting friends. Some are already members, some aren’t. I love the Rasta yarn!

Hello Liat,
Happy Second Birthday!!! I posted on Facebook, Google+ and Pinterst. I don’t have a Twitter or I would have done that as well. Thank you for the great sale!!
All the best for you and your company this new year!!
Liat – You have inspired me to knit everywhere! This week I was fishing way, way out on the rocks in Florida. Yes…there I was with a bunch of seasoned fishermen looking at me with interest as I knitted away with my newly acquired Malabrigo. Was I in heaven – yes… until I did a superb cast and hooked my knitting and all into the deep blue! The bewildered fishermen helped me haul in my soaking, salty piece of precious Malabrigo and watched with more bewilderment as I fished not only my knitting but the only fish caught that morning! Cheers to you and knitting everywhere :)
Just put a post up on the New Knitters group page on Ravelry.. (the KNITfreedom sock KAL)
Really want some amazing yarn… although the 50% off is almost better! Love the tutorials!
You are such an excellent teacher! It is so easy to see what is really going on when you demonstrate. Thank you so much for the great birthday presents.
Happy Birthday, KNITFreedom! I posted your blog to fb and to pinterest. Will also email to my knitting sis-in-law! I ordered 5 videos today! Cant wait to learn the magic loop technique! My son will be stopping in Uruguay on Semester at Sea…wonder if he will get me some yarn? Loved your video to the factory!
Happy Birthday KnitFreedom!! Appreciate so much all that you’re willing to share to make me a happier, more successful knitter! I shared this on facebook, pinterest & twitter:)!!
Love this site! And encourage anyone and everyone to look at it!!!
The Brioche Stitch is no longer a mystery thanks to you and your fabulous E-videos! I posted your birthday link to Facebook and bought two more videos. Thank you for being such an awesome instructor. Congratulations on your second birthday :-) I cannot wIt to buy your book.
Liat I think you are the best teacher I have ever seen. You are so into what you do that it is catching. Congratulations on two years!!!!! I am recovering from knee replacement so have not been too involved in anything. When the pain level is down some I plan to start the sock KAL. I am all ready with yarn, pattern and the desire to DO IT. Thank you for being there for us. You are a special person and I am glad I found your site a few months ago. It would be lovely to win the BEAUTIFUL Malabrigo yarn. I liked you on facebook.
Liat, thanks for your great spirit and confidence in all of us! I shared your blog on Facebook. Come to me, Malabrigo!
I love the e-books and am thrilled to hear that the next one will be about lace! I’m even more excited about the revamp of the website to make access so much easier. Yay! I’ve shared my excitement about your videos with a friend who is also now signed up. Happy 2nd Birthday, and here’s to many, many more!
Congratulations on your anniversary! I shared this site on Facebook and Twitter.
Tweeted, Pinned, & Facebooked! I also shopped, love your ebooks. I can’t wait for the app…am waiting for wait baited breath. Happy Birthday!!
Awesome teaching videos just signed up to recieve continental stitching and brioche classes, great info on everything knitting. Happy B-Day KF.
Hi, Liat – I pinned you on my kntterly things board and sent e-mails to my local knitting group buddies. Congrats on being two years old – looking forward to the new site, app and book.
Happy Birthday I shared on Facebook and Pintrest
Congratulations & Happy Birthday! I shared on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+!
I can’t tell you how much Knitting Superstar has helped me above all else. This simple book is so easy to work through and is so encouraging. It’s okay to make a mistake and learn from it because you, Liat, give me confidence to know how to correct my mistake! Magic loop was so confusing to me until I watched the section about it. Now I have made the newborn hat and mittens that I couldn’t figure out how to make flat :) I love knitting and it’s totally a part of my meditative routine now. Ommmmmmmmmm
As an added note, thanks for the coupon! I bought a few more classes :) Fair Isle, double knitting and cables!
Happy Birthday!!! Shared on pinteres & facebookt!!!
Not a techie but working on it! Liat, I LOVE your videos. Makes it EASY for a beginning knitter (at 66!!!!) And YOU are adorable!!!!!!!!!!
My sister signed me up for your news two years ago and I purchased and enjoy your Knitting Superstar book. Now I have organized a group of teachers at my school and we meet weekly to knit. I’ve shared and continue to share your great website with all of them. When we have a problem, we look you up for on-line help. Thanks!
Happy Birthday – posted on Facebook……you are the best resource I have found anywhere. Thank you for making knitting even more fun and less stress!
Happy birthday! Very happy to have found you and knitfreedom when I did. Here’s to much success and happiness to you and knitters all around the world. CHEERS!
Can’t wait for the app but I do love owning actual knitting books, so,really looking forward to a printed book! I’m an addicted to sock knitting and I owe everything I learned to Liat’s ebook tutorials, and I knew absolutely nothing about sock knitting beforehand.
Knitting has become a part of my daily life over the last 4 years. The perfect sock for my foot is my quest. With each pair I make I try to use at least one new technique to help me find what fits best for me.
Congrats on 2 years! I shared your birthday on both my tumblr page & and personal blog. I totally appreciate your blog and tutorials. You are a fabulous teacher…Thanks!
LIAT~ I am aso very happy for all your success, I know this is only the beginning~ Thank you for all your encouragement, opening the door to magic loop and 2 @ time :)….. See you when your back in Bozeman ~
Happy birthday. I was excited to see the class on magic loop socks. I have been trying to do this on my own and definitely need some assist. I am looking forward to watching and learning. Love the magic loop vs dpn’s.

I can hardly wait for your book. I have made 2 pair of toe up socks and it is wonderful. You are the BEST. I have been knitting for about 4 years and since I found you I am truly loving it. I am going to knit a pair of toe up with a fair isle cuff. I will let you know how they turn out. Again thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for this opportunity. I’m a VERY new knitter and very old crocheter so your videos have taught me a lot about this transition to continental (opened new doors – who knew?). Wonderful videos and explanations. Really looking forward to the new app!
Also, I tweeted about your big birthday party! Congratulations!!!

I had to reply to my own comment…lol…I watched the video on how to make a pom pom with the clover pompom maker….I couldn’t believe it..I was about to return mine I bought yesterday at Hobby Lobby as I just couldn’t do it or figure it out….thank you very much…I’ll watch it again and again till I get it right….!!!
I have always loved your newsletter and I love watching your videos. I just went over and bought Become a Knitting Superstar! I remember getting some of these through the newsletter but now I have it all in one place. Thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise. You’re so cute. I love your personal approach. :) Have a great celebration!! I’ll go share on my social sites now.
Congrats on the exciting happenings. I’m especially excited to hear about the website overhaul! I tweeted (by using a “tiny url” so I could say my own thing). Just finally bought the magic loop sock course – finally going to learn to do two at a time!

happy birthday little one! Two is an awesome #! posted your link on FBk, I hope my friends find you like I did 2 yrs ago! The BEST KNITTING TEACHER EVAH! HugZ and enjoy your day.
Congratulations & happy birthday to your blog! I liked your post on Facebook and also Pinned it. I always look forward to your emails to see what’s new on your blog, and your videos have been immensely helpful to me. Perfect therapy after a work day! Thanks for all you do.
Congratualtions!…It must be exciting to have your own site. I pinned this on Pinterest…(don’t do that well:)…Hope it’s there under knitting…First, I love that yarn and the color…What I like is knitting on bamboo needles and using a nice yarn…one that changes colors or is thick and thin and seeing the changes appear…so creative and no matter how it turns out, I made it. Thank you very much for all you do. Enjoy the day!!
Happy Birthday Liat !!! Congratulations and looking forward to your new book !
Thanks so much for making us knitting superstars!!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks so much for every ebook,video are post that you have ever done. I have been knitting for a month and your the reason it has been a sucess for me. I’m enjoying it! Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday and thanks for the sale! Shared on Facebook and Pinterest.
I liked your site and left comment on fb about how much I love my new art of knitting.. thanks so much for your great continental video, I bought 3 videos yesterday and am planning on learning tons of new knitting methods!
Happy Birthday! Congratulations on your book deal. Posted about this incredible website on FB.
Happy Birthday to Knit Freedom and congrats on the book deal. I LOVE the yarn. Blue is one of my favorite colors — it matches my eyes – and my own birthday is in a couple of days.
Happy Birthday Liat!! I’m so glad to have found Knit Freedom, you’ve helped in so many ways and I’m looking forward to all the new stuff coming up, the website, the new books, it all sounds so exciting! More than happy to share the great news with my friends on facebook.
Congratulations on turning two, and on the book deal! Your instructions are always so clear, and easy to follow, I can’t wait to see them all in one place when the new book comes out.
You’ve been Facebooked, Liat! This was as short as I could make it, though I could have gone on and on about the courses I’ve already purchased and learned a ton from, my snazzy Addi Lace Clicks that were an acquisition based on your recommendation (although now I really want those brightly colored, gorgeous needles you just blogged about recently; be still my heart!). You are truly the best. Here’s your press:
“Confessions of a yarnaholic: I love yarn. Not the Red Heart, no dye lot, 5-mile-long, acrylic blobs of yuckness I had to use as a kid; I’m talking amazing fibers and hand-dyed colors that make my heart skip a beat as I sink my fingers into the colored bits of loveliness. Unfortunately, I never got beyond the “knit it and pull it out” phase until recently, because the devil’s in the details (unless random squares are your passion).
“If that’s you, let me point you to the most amazing teacher and online resource ever: Liat Gat at https://www.knitfreedom.com. Her website is turning two today! There are exciting things happening now and great new features coming in the near future. For what is arguably the best training out there, broken out one move at a time by a friendly, funny teacher, check it out today; you won’t regret it!”
Happy Birthday LIat & congratulations on the book deal!!! I posted on FB,
I love your videos! Shared on Pinterest and Facebook. Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday to KnitFreedom and thank you for all the helpful videos. I shared the good news on FB and pinned on Pinterest. Congratulations on the book deal.
Today is my birthday, too! Just shared on FB! The yarn looks gorgeous!
Happy Birthday!! Pinnned and liked on Facebook
happy to share and like on facebook and post comments on blog – best of luck and success with your new book… I’m goin’ shoppin’!
Hi Liat,
I just want to tell you I am so glad I found this site. I just started knitting back in May 2012 and I bought a few of your video courses and am proud to say that I today have become a more confident “fearless” knitter, in fact, last night I tried my hand at double knitting and have found a new passion. Congratulations on your new book deal… you definitely deserve it. I was so excited that I shared with all my friends at Knitting Paradise and facebook!
I love this site!
Happy Birthday! I love getting your emails and checking out your free patterns of which I’ve made SEVERAL! I can always count on you for good directions, good support and inspiring patterns (and yarn)! Thanks!
i don’t know how to do any of those computer things. i have no friends or family to share. i am a disabled single mother of a disabled 38 year old. we both do needlework. i think you are a very good teacher. everything is very clear. happy birthday and many more.
Happy Birthday! You’ve been an amazing resource for me and I’m happy to share with my friends! Shared to FB, Twitter, Pinterest and Google!
Pin to Pinterest and shared via fb. Love the rasta yarn!
Hi Liat; I’m on the way to being a confident knitter instead of a begging knitter. Thank goodness (not really) my knit shop closed so I was forced to go onto the internet to search for ways to continue to learn. This was not productive until I found YOU. I’ve shared you and your patterns with people in knit shops I’ve visited literally coast-to-coast (two weeks ago in Washington, DC and this week in Danville, CA right outside San Francisco). I go into the shops in search of Malabrigo yarn.This morning, I’m packing to head home to Nashville, but have shared on FB, Twitter, Pinterest, and sent an email to my only knitting friend. My sister loved her local knit shop here in Danville (so did I) and plans to interview them and feature them in her column for the San Ramon Times. She doesn’t knit yet, but she was definitely interested!! I’ve been knitting for less than a year and I feel good!
Happy Birthday!
It’s official – Knit Freedom is part of my Knitting Want List :)

Love this website–Liat has solved many a knitting problem for me easily!
Shared with a couple of my best knitting friends who went in the KnitFreedom loop. I love your videos — they are so relaxed in tone, but also have great direction clarity. Thanks, Liat, and happy birthday.

Happy Birthday and congrats on the new book! And a new app? WOW! Amazing!
I know, right? That’s why you haven’t seen any new e-books since February. I’ve been working behind the scenes! I think you’ll really like the new improvements.
