Enhances My Knitting
Just need to put my 2 cents in on your latest class.... Cast Ons..... love love love love love love..... you at your best! I now have the ability to pick a cast on that enhances my knitting rather than just a means to an end. Who would have ever though that casting on can be a decorative stitch! Once again I learn more following you around than in the last 10 years on my own..... keep it up and I will forever by a devoted fan!

Immediately Grasped the Concept
I want knitters who have given up on learning Magic Loop to know that your video is by far the best. I was almost ready to give it up myself when I found your video and immediately grasped the concept and have not looked back. Anyone who truly wants to learn Magic Loop only needs to follow your few steps. Thank you for your clear and precise instructions!

Easy Breezy Conversational Style
I bought this Top-Down Socks book because I love the easy-'breezy conversational style in your videos, Liat, and it didn't disappoint me. It's just like sitting down with a good friend to teach me, except I can pause and rewind you! I love this book!

Great Troubleshooting
I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Liat for her Cables 101 course. I was looking for a pattern for legwarmers to wear on my motorcycle in cold weather. I wanted them to button, and be fairly warm.
The Bulky Cabled Legwarmers pattern was perfect, and the promise of videos to help me through my first knit cables was important. AS IT TURNED OUT... I really needed the troubleshooting videos. I got to the 54th row of the pattern on the left legwarmer, feeling pleased with myself because they looked so good.
As I read over the instructions for the last few rows, I saw a mention of sewing 4 buttons on. FOUR!!!! But I only had three button holes. Sure enough, on row 43, I had missed the buttonhole.
I took a deep breath, watched the video on fixing a missed buttonhole, and started ripping my stitches down to the missed button hole. Four or five tries later, it was fixed, a buttonhole and 10 more rows of fixed knitting.
WOW! Thanks so much for this. I would never have had the courage to attempt to fix this problem without ripping out all 11 rows without your videos.

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.

A Complete Pair of Socks
Thank you so much for these awesome Toe-Up Socks videos. You have helped me so much. Thank you! Now I know I can do a complete pair of socks. I always get stuck on the heel. Thanks to you I know I can do it!

Can’t Wait to Start Other Fair-Isle Projects
Bought the "Fair-Isle ebook" from Liat Gat/KnitFreedom – I can really recommend it to anyone who is new to Fair-Isle knitting. After taking the online video class I can’t wait to start other Fair-Isle projects.
Learning So Much
I have only received a couple of your newsletters… I have to let you know I LOVE them! I am learning so much. And I am VERY thankful that I have access to the videos when I can’t remember what I’ve learned… basically, you rock! Thanks!

Invaluable In My Knitting Library
The bind-offs ebook is a very extensive listing and explanation for all Bindoffs- more than I knew existed! This plus the cast on ebook are invaluable in my knitting library. Both are knitter's must-haves.

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.

A Little Too Motivated
Hi Liat - I got a little too motivated and made my socks in two days! Your videos and instructions are fantastic. I plan to make another pair once the knit-along starts... my daughter is very jealous of mine. :)

Clear Video & Easy to Understand Directions

A Success Because of You
Thank you so much for a wonderful pattern and the video tutorials were a big help. My first magic-loop two-at-a-time mitten was a success because of you!
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!

It’s Much Easier and Faster
I had been taught in a knitting class some other way that I didn’t like, and when I saw [your class on Continental Knitting], I watched, practiced, and it’s almost natural and much easier and faster.
– Janice G.
A Success!
My "test mitten" was a success! Cannot wait to start knitting teacher gifts for the 2012 Christmas season!
Like Having Her Sitting Beside You
I just wanted to post a picture of my first EVER completed PAIR of mittens, I added the picture as my profile picture!!!
I had completed a mitten, but didn’t like it so gave up trying mittens. After having success with the Liat’s Two-at-a-Time Sock pattern, I had to try the mittens and viola! Here it is, I am already half done with the second pair. The grand girls loved them so much we went and bought yarn for theirs. I’m so glad they are quick and easy since the snow will be flying around our area before I know it!
If you are like me and have given up trying socks or mittens -- you HAVE to try Liat's ebooks, it is truly like having her sitting beside you showing you how to do every (and I mean EVERY) step!

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.

Relaxed and Matter-of-Fact
I really enjoy listening to you – you’re very relaxed and matter-of-fact and you have a great voice. I’ve looked at quite a few tutorials (from others) and I like yours the best. After crocheting for a long while, I’m just getting my knitting bearings again and have learned a lot of great tricks from you. Keep it up:-)
