Become a Knitting Superstar Review

A close look at Become a Knitting Superstar, by Liat Gat.

I LOVE this course! It’s great, especially if you are a new or amateur knitter. Having said that though, whether you are new to knitting or have been casting on for years, you are bound to pick up one or more neat tricks-of-the-trade in this eBook! I bought this about 2 years ago and it has really helped me excel in my knitting.

“Where there is a will, there is a way” – even if this sounds clichéd, it most definitely applies when it comes to knitting!

Become a Knitting Superstar excels where most other traditional knitting books fall short: instead of difficult-to-understand photos or drawings depicting various knitting techniques that often leave new knitters feeling confused and frustrated, Liat has produced high-quality, easy to follow videos for both beginner and advanced knitters alike. Yes, this course makes great use of all the modern Internet we have access to today.

She takes us from a knitter’s humble beginnings: casting on, followed by the knit and purl stitch, performed in both English and Continental styles; moves easily through more advanced techniques like mastering knitting in the round and magic loop; and finishes with fixing dropped stitches without ripping back. Her bonus chapters provide a wealth of knitting tips from techniques to make any project amazing to how to knit faster

As of this writing, the continental technique is something I really want to learn, but I’ve been unsuccessful so far. Liat makes it look so easy. However, for my personal style “FreeStyle Knitting” it doesn’t really fit, but I would still just like to nail this technique. I’m sure if I learned it, I would use it.
