So Glad I Bought The Lifetime Membership
I use the library constantly and love it. Your video helped me tackle two at a time socks.
I love what you have done for fellow knitters and am so glad I bought the lifetime membership.

Thank You For Bringing Mosaic Knitting To Light
Excellent! The idea of having the written instructions alongside the working video was perfect for me. When I first read of your newest idea, you must realize that it would lead me, and others, to looking up mosaic knitting online. I am totally enthralled with the simplicity of the basic swatch and can imagine so many possibilities. Thank you for bringing mosaic knitting to light and your instructions are always so clear.

Can’t Wait to Do More
BEST teaching EVER! Liat breaks everything down so that even complex steps are easy to learn... and her tips on how to knit quicker, more efficiently, and avoiding common errors are the most useful help I have ever received.
I thought knitting socks would be an arcane process that was accessible only to the experienced knitter. I'm pretty much a beginner, although I did know magic loop... and now I've knitted my first pair of socks and can't wait to do more.

Don’t Have To Spend Forever Searching
Thanks so much… I just ordered the Knitting Superstar!!! Oh my goodness…. so awesome. Now I don't have to spend forever searching for every single little technique or method out there. I cannot tell you how many useless videos I have had to sift through. Thanks again… I can't wait to try the new sock pattern.

A World of Difference
Liat, I finished the Toe-Up, Two-at-a-Time Socks - your videos are stellar! Thank you very much - you have to know how much more secure I felt with your videos - a world of difference.

I Carry It Everywhere
I just love your Basic Toe-Up Sock pattern, and am so grateful for it! I carry it everywhere, and refer to it with every sock pattern I use, since most patterns are written for DPNs.

From the Bottom Of My Heart
It is so kind of you to share your knowledge of knitting to those of us struggling to learn this skill. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Finally, I Am Making Beautiful Things
I want to thank you for your "Becoming a Knitting Superstar." Last winter I decided to take my knitting to another level. I had knitted on and off for years (since I was a teenager..I'm now 60 :)) but was never quite pleased with my finished products. They were "okay" but nothing special and I had never attempted a sweater. I knew that would mean disaster.
First, I took a sock class at my LYS where I learned Magic Loop. That ignited something in me to forge ahead. I found your videos online (probably while googling something I needed for the sock class). The way you communicate really connected with me. You instructions and videos are clear and fun!
So, I bought "Becoming a Knitting Superstar." I went through the course step by step, mostly watching the videos over and over. I would watch them while working on the projects but I would also watch them while I was on my treadmill, waiting in an airport, etc. As I worked through the ebook, something began to click. Here are some of the things I learned that I found most helpful.
1. I learned to "read my work". This has helped tremendously. I don't make nearly the mistakes I used to, because I "catch" them before they are a real problem.
2. Learning how to fix my mistakes was the most freeing thing. I loved all you said about making mistakes. I even shared this with some of the gals at my church. I believe it is a great way to view life! The words goes beyond knitting.
3. I learned to relax. I used to hold my knitting with a death grip. My poor hands cramped up and knitting was not as relaxing as I thought it should be. This also increased my speed...which means I'm less distraught if I have to take something out or start over.
4. I gained confidence. My projects began to "turn out" just as I had hoped. I felt more confident when I went into my LYS. I knew the language. I even knew what questions to ask. As my projects began "turning out", in my head, I could hear you say "that's okay, because you will be making many beautiful things". (You say that somewhere in the Becoming a Superstar ebook...I'm just not sure exactly where.). Finally, I am making beautiful things. I finished my first sweater in August and I can actually wear it! I'm working on my second sweater and am super pleased. It's almost finished--all that's left is finishing up the sleeves. I made a really pretty shawl/scarf that had a lace edge with beading. And of course there are others. I haven't made one single thing since I took the course that I have not been happy about.

Two at a Time at Last
Liat!!! Oh my Oh my "..I love your e-book" can you tell ~ I am so excited!!!! I have made two pair of socks in my ten years of knitting on magic loops, one at a time mind you, and wanted to learn to do two at a time. Your instructions are amazing.
– Mary
I Learned How to RELAX While Knitting
I never found knitting relaxing until I learned Continental from you and followed your instructions and learned how to RELAX while knitting!
– Polly V.
Clear and Concise Patterns
When I start looking for a new type of pattern (socks vs mittens, etc) I ALWAYS go to KnitFreedom.com first! Your patterns are clear, concise, and they allow me to go crazy re: colors and designs, yet I've got a solid base design to go back to.
As someone who can't not play with a pattern, I love having KnitFreedom.com at my back. Do I share this? Only with every knitter I know! And every wanna-be knitter I know! Thank you for your knowledge and kindness.

Started After 42 Years
HUGS. I LOVE YOU!!!!! You have helped me SO MUCH! I started knitting in September after 42 years of not knitting! and I have amazed myself!
– Lynn
All The Fine-Tuning I Needed
You have taught me all the fine tuning I needed to know to become a very proficient knitter.
I've made an amazing baby blanket that I did not have to tear out all the way even once b/c you taught me how to keep going then fix my mistake as I came to that spot... even many rows down. You taught me how to fix half-done stitches and recognize mistakes in intricate patterns.
So I just can't thank you enough! You've taken my anxiety over "frogging" and turned it into calm confidence!

Worth Every Penny
The Fair-Isle Knitting ebook includes several very helpful videos and tips which went far beyond the Fair-Isle instructions. Worth every penny.
Better Than Being In a Classroom
Hi, Liat. I’m so excited with this whole method which you’ve put together. It’s even better than being with you in a classroom, because I don’t have to be scared to ask a question.
– Joan
Made 10 Pairs
Just want to say that my friends have yet to make their first sock. I have made 10 pairs. I love the way you teach.
– Kathy W.
Helpful, Clear Instructions
I, too, am a self-taught knitter. I have two bookcases full of instruction books and have found Liat Miriam Gat's videos so helpful, the instructions so clear. It is so much easier for me to see and knit than to read and knit. Thanks for your excellent instructions and keep up the good work.
– Jean M.
Clear Video & Easy to Understand Directions
Thanks for your quick response & for all your videos. You should win a prize for clear video & easy to understand directions! You’re #1 in my book.
– Cindy H.
I Always Reach Out for Your Instructions
I bought your Knitting Superstar in 2011 and I really do not think I would have stayed with [knitting] if it hadn't been for your awesome videos! I have not stopped but love seeing your new things and whenever I get stuck I always reach out for your instructions because you are just that good! I also love seeing your posts!!!!

Better Than 4 Bottles of Tylenol
For less than the price of 4 bottles of extra strength Tylenol I just treated myself to the bundled package deal on Cast Ons and Bind Offs. Thank you SO much, Liat, for really thinking these tutorials through and covering all the bases so meticulously.
Truly, the cast on and the bind off are crucial points in every project, no matter how much you spend on gorgeous yarn and no matter how well you execute the rest of an intricate pattern. Casting on and binding off are like launching and landing an aircraft--- ALL important and the difference between success and failure, life or death and 4 bottles of Tylenol and hysterics or a cuppa'n'cruller to celebrate!
