Absolutely Fabulous
This is the best Toe-Up Socks instruction video! Not only does it present clear instruction, it also answers so many of those little? questions such as how to keep the darned yarn from tangling, how to keep the loop from twisting and/or disappearing, how to position the stitches on the needles, etc. Absolutely fabulous and I am SO happy I bought the book. Thank you!

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!!!!

Clear and Easy to Follow
Very clear, very easy to follow even for someone who is new to casting on techniques.

Definitely Recommending You
I have purchased a large number of Craftsy classes, and I don't think I would have if I had known about your site first. I am definitely recommending it to everyone I know and in my online groups.

Number One, Go-To Resource
You are my number-one go-to resource when I need to "see" how something is done.

So Easy to Find a Beautiful Cast-Off
I purchased your "I Love Bind Offs" to have as a resource. When I first received the course I skimmed over it to see what it was like and to know what might help me in the future. Well, that day came today! I have been working on a short swing jacket/sweater that has some seed stitch. The collar is done completely in seed stitch.
As I began to bind it off as the pattern instructed I was not pleased with the way it was finishing off. I thought, "I bet Liat has a bind off that will work better!". I wondered how easy it would be for me to find just the right bind off for my project. It was sooo easy.
I scanned the table of contents and there it was "Bind-offs for Seed St." I read the two ways recommended. The first was just what my pattern had instructed. But the second, "Cable bind-off for seed stitch" was just what I was hoping for.
After taking out my work I first tried 1 needle size smaller--it still looked a little sloppy. I went down another needle size, just like you had said I might need to do, and voila--a beautiful cast off for my color. I'm so happy with it.

Just Finished First Pair
I just finished my first pair of 2 @ a time, toe up socks last night! Thanks to your terrific video e-book and email advice; couldn’t have done it without you.

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. :)

Considerably Easier Than I Expected
I made the switch [to Continental Knitting], and I found it considerably easier than I expected. The huge benefit is that I can now knit Fair-Isle Designs two-handed!

Knowing How To Undo Mistakes
Your soothing and encouraging voice was in my head last evening while I successfully knit a lace pattern that is new to me. Every time I made a mistake, I swear I heard you say, "That's alright, you can fix that." I feel much more confident as a knitter knowing how to undo mistakes. Thanks, Liat, for all that you do.

Comfort in Knitting Knowing I Have All That Knowledge at My Fingertips
[The Premium Library] is fantastic.... like all your videos and classes.
I bought one of your classes before the Premium Membership became available and, thanks to that excellent course, I learned how to double knit.
I was super excited when I saw all the different cast-on and off’s offered.
It gives me great comfort in knitting knowing that I have all that knowledge ready at my fingertips.

Very Well Presented
Very well presented video about Brioche knitting. Good job and thanks for teaching.

I’m Addicted
I'm so excited about this. I didn't know that we weren't starting yet, so I've already knit a pair of socks and am almost done with a 2nd. I'm addicted.

Tremendously Helpful, Covers Everything
Your Brioche Knitting Course… covers all the things I need to know about knitting the Brioche Stitch. The course is well thought out and the layout progressive. The videos are tremendously helpful as well as the written instructions. There is nothing I would add or change in the course.

Can I Afford It?
I thought, "Can I afford it?" And then I thought, "I've been trying to learn. I took some private knitting lessons at $30 an hour. This is crazy. I can get all this information and have it anytime I want right here!" And I have not regretted purchasing it one bit.

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.

An Amazing Tribute to Your Patience, Clarity and Articulate Presentation
Your knitting videos, your attitude, your calm approach and everything about your classes, Liat, are wonderful. I've finally actually been knitting for the first time in my life and (for someone who is closing in on 80), I think that's an amazing tribute to your patience, clarity and articulate presentation. My socks are almost done, one more row and I'll be ready to turn the heel. I had to begin many times at first but then once I got the hang of it all, I was knitting, which to me, is plenty amazing. I may even make more socks, now that I know I can do it. I'm slow, for sure, but just doing it is incredible to me. Having something I can actually do during these impossibly weird times is really a gift. I've learned so much: how to use magic loop, how to feel what's going on, how to see (read) my yarn (I'm not great at it, but I'm beginning to see it), how to follow and figure out a pattern. It's incredible. Many thanks for the lovely gift of knowledge.

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.

I Can’t Believe How Simple The Process Is
Not being a particularly adventurous knitter, I’ve never considered attempting mosaic knitting. I just assumed it was hard! You just proved that with a good teacher, and a good video tutorial, most any kind of knitting is doable. I didn’t knit the swatch, but I did watch the video all the way through (knitting in my head), and can’t believe how simple the process is. Again, thank you so much for sharing your time and experience. :-)
