I’m Hooked
Dear Liat, I wanted to take this little moment to thank you for your tutorials on YouTube. I have just discovered your videos and subsequently just signed up to learn more about knitting the Liat Way. I'm a very novice knitter, even though I have been poking away at knitting for a long time.
I recently "got a bee in my bonnet" about wanting to knit in the round... why not?... and in the process of learning about the different ways you can do that I discovered the Magic Loop trick.
After about six or more tries with different YouTube teachers, and still not getting it at all, I happened to watch your Magic Loop video. And it was so easy! Listening to you and watching your hands! I was able to figure it out and actually do it!
I am really excited to think that now I might be able to add to my ever growing pile of (fabulous) long knitted rectangles with some circular things for a change. (Ahem...) Cables and color work... who knows... the list goes on... It's great.
Thank you so much for your teacher's heart and your wonderful website and tutorials. I am hooked. Or maybe, I should say, "I'm knit!"

I Love Listening to Your Voice Both Literally and Figuratively
Liat, I love listening to your voice both literally and figuratively. The messages you send--that it's all right, that you can fix your mistakes, that things don't have to be perfect--all resonate.

Loaded With Encouragement
After completing the Knit Freedom Learn to Knit course, I wanted to learn more. So I enrolled in Fearless Knitter, and oh boy!
This course is loaded with pictures, videos and, most importantly, encouragement. Liat is a talented, patient teacher who enjoys helping you take your knitting to the next level.
I am now very comfortable with knitting and purling, and learning to fix my mistakes, which is what I really want to do, so I can help myself and others to learn to knit. Once I complete this course, I will certainly enroll in another course. Knit Freedom makes learning easy and enjoyable. Thank you, Liat!

Brilliant – Finally Makes Sense
Your videos are excellent. I have just downloaded your video dictionary, and the idea of a pdf linked to youtube videos is brilliant. Beautifully-designed site as well. Really great stuff–I finally learned how to knit backwards in a way that made sense. Thanks!

An Essential Calmness
You are simply the best! I am so impressed with your ability to communicate with an essential calmness. I refer to you and your valuable teaching methods frequently in other knit groups.

You Enriched My Knitting!
I truly enjoyed all the tips and tricks I’ve learned from your incredible courses.The main reason I’m writing is to thank you for the most invaluable tip of how to keep 2 balls of yarn from snarling when making 2-at-time toe up socks!!!I had tried last year to make this type of sock, and in my excitement and haste to get started did NOT watch or read all the way through. When the balls of yarn kept on snarling, my temper went the same way. With the pandemic sweeping the globe, and so much free time, I took up those troublesome socks again with one very important difference … I watched and read through the instructions to the end.OMG Liat! You are a wunderkind, as my German mother would say!The tip you provided for keeping the balls of yarn to themselves was awe inspiring after all the trouble I had with them previously.I think throughout the courses I’ve purchased from you, it's those subtle tips and tricks that have helped me the most! Everything you suggested I tried out, and to my delight DID make my knitting faster, easier on my hands and mind, and enriching!That’s what I want to thank you for MOST, you enriched my knitting!

I Wanted to Knit Socks, But Didn’t Know Where to Start
Thank you for your class. I LOVE your teaching style - AWESOME! I wanted to knit socks, but didn't know where to start, I chose your class and not only started, but knitted a pair of socks that I'm proud of and see many more coming off my needles! Thank you!

Worth Its Weight in Gold
This Brioche Knitting eBook is worth its weight in gold (okay, being an ebook, it doesn't actually weigh anything, so I guess you could say the book is priceless).
Everything you need to work a basic brioche project is covered, from cast-on to weaving in ends on a finished project. The videos are clear and well-done, and the written instructions are easy to follow and concise. (If you've seen any of Liat's other ebooks, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you're in for a treat.)

Just The Right Thing For Me
I'm up late at night. You can't go to a knitting store late at night. It works perfect. It's just the right thing for me.

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.

VERY Helpful and Informative Emails
Thank you for all of your VERY helpful and informative emails. I will NEVER forget the very first time I had made a knitting mistake, recognized it and figured out how to fix it. It was the proverbial lightbulb going off over my head. I was totally filled with joy, happiness, pride, laughter and the realization I had finally become a knitter. Thank you, again, for your guidance and sharing of your talents and knowledge.

I Can Call Myself a Knitter Thanks to You

I Never Thought I’d Learn to Knit, and Now I Have
I love the classes I’ve bought from Liat because they've given me something to do during this interminable downtime of the virus. I can’t go many places, but I’ve learned to knit socks (imagine that!) and learned to knit and felt a pair of slippers that I wear constantly. I love it.
I never thought I’d learn to knit, and now I have. Plus I know I can learn more, since Liat’s videos are so easy to follow, so clear, so calm and always so upbeat. She makes me feel as though it’s impossible to make a mistake that does irreparable damage. If you can’t make a mistake, why not learn to knit too?
