Best I Have Seen
I must tell you that your Fair-Isle course looks fantastic. I love the way you coordinate the text and video in the single ebook. The layout of the ebook is the best I have seen. Not only do you excel at knitting and teaching knitting, but at ebook design.

Wonderful Calm Voice
Your videos and your voice are wonderful. In fact, my sister (who doesn't knit) said she wouldn't mind listening to you just to feel calm about life.

Clear and Easy to Understand
Yay! I love this tutorial. So clear and easy to understand! I’m going to make a double knit scarf for my sister for Christmas now. :D So excited!

I’ll Use These For All Of My Socks
The instructions provided by Liat Gat were perfect; I love using the magic loop method. I’ll use these instructions for all of my socks, making modifications in stitch patterns. Thanks, Liat!!
– Susan
Sooo Helpful!
I just purchased your magic loop ebook… sooo helpful! you are a hoot! I am awaiting my online order of suggested needles and am looking forward to knitting all the patterns I’ve been saving up (and avoiding due to instructions using dpn’s!) Many thanks for your enthusiasm (and being a great teacher)!

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.

Best Instructor For All Things Knitted
Liat is the best teacher/instructor for all things knitted. Her Knitting Superstar Course definitely made me a knitting superstar. I feel fearless when I approach a project now. There were a lot of things I wouldn't even try before taking her course, now I will try anything. Love the way she teaches.

Everything Seems Easy
Your videos are the best on the Internet. You make everything seem so easy and doable, and you do it in a friendly and real voice. In face, you have the same voice as a friend of mine, which makes it even better!
– Cindy R.
Clear and Easy to Follow
Very clear, very easy to follow even for someone who is new to casting on techniques.
– Sandra
A Better Method
I have never done Magic Loop prior to finding this. I attempted 1 pair of socks on 3 DPNs and was not happy with either the process or the result. (I hated dealing with all those needles!) I purchased this Top-Down Socks class in the hopes of finding a better method and I wasn't disappointed.
Your videos and instructions were so clear and easy to follow that I have now completed my first pair on ML and I'm hooked! (No pun intended). Haven't tried 2 at a time yet, but that's next up for me. I can see that now I'm going to have to purchase your knitting superstar book :-)

Love the Visual Format
Having a visual to keep referring back to makes the difference between being stuck and moving on in my knitting. I just love the format of Become a Knitting Superstar. I’m a visual learner and dyslexic, so the additional tips and visual clues are key. I especially like the fact that you have the solutions ready for me even before I get to the problem. This has helped me avoid many a mistake.
An especially huge thanks for getting back to me on Christmas day. Many a business could take lessons from you in customer care. I would recommend your e-books to anyone and everyone. They are thorough and easy to follow. If anyone is considering getting an e-book from you, then they need to just go ahead and get it. You’ve taken the risk factor out of the purchase and seriously stand behind your product. :-) It’s a great way to learn new techniques. I’ll be back for more!

Set the Bar for Knitting Videos
Liat, this new Bind-Offs course is amazing! You have set the bar for knitting books and videos! Congratulations on a job WELL DONE!

I Always Make These Instead of Booties
Thanks for the great toe-up baby sock pattern. I love it because it's Magic Loop and uses Judy’s Magic Cast On and the Fleegle Heel, which is what I use for adult socks. I always make these instead of booties because they actually stay on!
Toe-Up Socks – A Miracle
I appreciate your videos and regular emails a lot. I just finished a pair of toe up socks with picot cuff; a miracle, thanks to you; a year ago I could not even read most knitting patterns.
I plan to order your superstar knitting program, but I have to tell you how helpful you have been when I am out and about knitting and come to a stitch or abbreviation I'm not sure of, to be able to access Knit Freedom online on my iPhone and hear your friendly voice and see your lovely hands explain what to do and how in a clear relaxed style.
When I did the picot trim on my toe up socks, on my first attempt, the work did not flop over into the sock as on your video; I watched it again and thought about it, then tried working the lace round the opposite direction, and it worked beautifully.
Your instructions have given me the confidence to work this out, try new things; I am now sock knitting confidently and ready to move on to previously unthought of challenges like two at a time on a circular, and the lace patterns I love.

Amazing Customer Service
Dear Liat, I would like to commend Candy for her AMAZING customer service. When my computer died and I had to reconstruct all of my programs, Candy knew just what to do. I had just begun learning the Continental method when my pc blew up, and now I am able to pick up where I left off. You ladies are simply amazing! Thanks for being there for us.

It’s the Only Way I Knit Now
Your videos are how I learned to knit Continental, and it has been a revelation. It's the only way I knit now.

Saved My Knitting Countless Times
Thank YOU! Your tips have saved my knitting countless times!

Tried YouTube
I've tried to watch knitting videos on youtube and none are as useful as your ebooks.

A Whole New World Of Knitting
Your tips and techniques have opened up a whole new world of knitting for me, and I’m grateful beyond words.

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.
