Thank you for interviewing Lily Chin. I have been a fan of her for many years. She is truly an inspiration for knitting.
I am in the process of working on three projects socks, sweater and some wristlets. I hope to finish one before biginning some things else. HaHa
I have to say, my favorite reversible scarf has to be this wonderful palindrome pattern that I have knit up several times. (Rav link)
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/palindrome-a-reversible-cable-scarf
Here is the first one I did: (Rav link)
http://ravel.me/HSailorMoon/parcs3
However, this pattern also got me a bit famous in reversible knitting, in that I did a youtube video of how I did my purls (since the pattern is just ribbing and a cable every so often). Link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DkwcejowiI
I did this video as a tutorial of Norwegian Purling, a way to purl continental with out having to bring the yarn forward. I have had a ton of emails and comments asking questions about the pattern. So it is a win win for everyone! 😀 Learning how to do a different purl method and a wonderful beautiful reversible scarf!
I still need to make myself a scarf with this pattern. >.>;
My favorite cable pattern is something that I did several years ago. Back during my undergraduate years, a service group that I was in ended up knitting scarves for the Red Scarf Project. There was a group of 6 people who participated in the project. A few of them were first time knitters, so we got together as a group and started knitting our scarves. I chose the Rainy Day Scarf Pattern by Beth Collins for my project and it turned out very nicely. It’s not really a cable pattern however, but it looks like one 🙂 http://www.ravelry.com/projects/charmed0018/rainy-day-scarf
My favorite cable would have to be the Groovy Cable Tuque…I completed three of them last year as Christmas gifts. That Berroco coat you showcased in the espisode is stunning. I may need to look further at that one! Thanks for another great show!
Cables scare me. There, I’ve said it. I know that they’re not as frightening as I make them out to be. I look forward to making a scarf with cables. I think that will allow me to not have to jump head first into the cold water but just stick a toe in. Thanks so much for all the great information.
My favorite cable project is my first, though I no longer can fit into it. It was a cable pullover from a pattern found in some magazine, back in the 80’s. The wool was a purple heather. I loved it!
I knit a cabled afghan 30 years ago. It was 2 panel patterns, with a total of 5 panels. There were 2 panels of seed stitch for the bottom and top. I love the afghan, but can no longer find the pattern. When I’m retired I will figure out the pattern and make it a couple of more times.
Back then I used a cable needle, next time I hope to do the cable without a needle and that it will make the work go faster.
Love the show, even my husband watches it.
I really enjoyed the vodcast and especially this episode!
My favorite cable pattern is a baby sweater made from very fine yarn from an old Coats and Clark book. One had to concentrate for the tiny cables with the central looped hole but the loose fit and comfort in a wide variety of temperatures made it worth the trouble. All my children found it a favorite.
I’m interested in the cardigan from Lily’s new book. It looks really comfortable and practical for the variety of temperatures in Northern Arizona. I’m also short and the color would need to become maybe a dark green tweedy yarn but I like the look.
Loved the show.
Cables …well…not yet. I pretend to be an accomplished knitter but not so much. I hope to try cables soon.
Currently I am knitting a Wedding Dress and crocheting a Super Mario afghan for my 5 yr. old grandson.
NEXT…CABLES
Keep up the fantastic work!
I love Lily Chin, thanks so much for doing an interview with her. Her newest book is wonderful. I asked my local library to purchase it so more then just me could enjoy her wonderful creations. It is hard to choose just one favorite but if I must I would say the “Five-Way Cabled Shrug” (page 101). With its clever and simple construction and multi useage it is a real winner. I love cables and this is a great addition to my cable library.
I enjoy your podcast. Keep them coming 🙂
My grandma showed me how to do cables years ago! But since then I’ve married and traveled around the world with my sailor hubby. I have yet to try a cable pattern but I love the look of cables. I’m looking for a new project. This podcast must be some kind of sign but I think I’ll start small…maybe a scarf.
I love the show. Thanks for posting the podcast!
I have some beautiful taupe cotton. I just couldn’t think what to make with it until I remembered a simple reversible cable pattern I had seen. I cast on with it and I can’t wait to wear it this winter. A simple cotton scarf is all we need here in Florida, but the stunning ribbed cable makes it special.
I would love to win this book and learn more…..
Ana
Thanks for the great interview with Lily Chin. Love your show! Great work!
My current cable project is an off white, wool fisherman’s type cardigan. It’s a DROPS pattern that I took some liberties with…never can leave well enough alone. The pattern is designed for back, 2 fronts and sleeves seamed together, but I redesigned it to be knit in one piece to the sleeves and then to add them and continue in a raglan pattern to the neck. Got the bottom to about 6 inches and then decided I wanted pockets so I knitted ribbed welts, garter stitched pocket pieces and continued. Sleeves are on circulars ready to knit in, hopefully in the next few days if I can find time to get back to it. Still undecided about the collar style and after the raglans are started need to sneak in some Elizabeth Zimmerman short rows in the back to raise the neck line a bit. With any luck I might get to wear this thing this winter.
I am terrified of cables. I have tried a few times to make them — in socks, and a hat, but have not had any success yet.
Thanks for your fun videos. The first cabling project was much too early in my knitting experience. I had only been knitting for a short while and I tried a complicated woven looking dishcloth. I was doing well until about 2 inches into it… something went horribly wrong. I couldn’t fix it, and hadn’t yet learned how to take out errors and recover, so I just kept going with the problem area in there. Somewhere along the way I decided to abandon that and try some regular cables to finish the other half of the dishcloth. I did much better with those and finished the cloth. I still use it in my kitchen even though it’s weird looking — I call it my “mutant” dishcloth. I’m looking forward to trying a REAL project in the near future, now that I’ve had more experience knitting… not sure what it will be yet.
I’ve only used one of the reversible-cable techniques (the one Lily mentioned in the interview, where you cable ribbing) and I’d love to learn some more. The scarf I made that way turned out great, btw. Please enter me in the drawing.
Thanks for another great show!
My favorite cable project I did was my first. I felt so accomplished at tackeling cables. It was an afghan that was done in strips then seemed together. I recently have just tackled a small reversable cable coffee cozy and it was quite fun.
Thank you for all the shows, love watching.
I always love watching your bloopers at the end of the episodes. They always bring a smile to my face. I am currently working on the Central Park Hoodie as my biggest cabling project to date. I also enjoy doing Fetching fingerless gloves because of all the texture the cables bring about and how quickly it knits up.
I have really enjoyed these last few episodes with all the interviews. Lily Chin’s book looks like one I need to add to my ever expanding knitting book collection. As fir my favoutite cable pattern. It’s not my favourite cable but the one I am most proud of because it was a hooded jacket I made for my son when he was a toddler and I hadn’t been knitting very long. It had three different cables in it and my only mistake was the spacing of the buttonholes. Not bad for a beginner.
Loved the show – especially your giggles and eric’s laugh! I haven’t yet attempted cables, other than in my head. They don’t seem so terribly hard to me and I think it’s because I watched you doing cables (?) on one of the episodes. I think my first attempt will be cables on a scarf. I do not want to win the book as I think someone more experienced than myself should win it. I just wanted to let you know that I think you show R-O-C-K-S! Thanks for all the good work you do and share with us 🙂
P.S. The smock cabled-sweater is in the Coats and Clark pamphlet “Baby Sets” from 1967. Leggings are also included (no socks that keep getting kicked off anyway).
My favorite cabled pattern that I have knit up has to be the Chunky Cabled Beanie by Stitch Cafe. I really liked how to the cables looked in the chunky yarn. They really popped!
I love the look of cables but I have never attempted a cable pattern before. I have my eye on the Cable Scarf by Erika Knight at Ravelry…http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cable-scarf-11
My favorite cable project was one I did yrs ago when Hubby and I were stationed in England. It was the first time I had ever knitted cables and it was then I realised that cables aren’t as hard as they look.
It was in a magazine called Mother and Baby and I made it for my then 2 1/2 yr old son. Alas, I’ve long since lost the pattern but it was a cardigan with a zipper and cables running up the the front and a matching hat with two cables. The hat and sweater still look great and they were worn by my three sons, loaned out four nieces and three nephews. Now it sits in the cedar chest waiting for any future great grandchild. But at this point in time, that’s unlikely…lol.
Oh, and the son I orginally knitted it for is now 30…lol.
I have made several reversible cable scarves. Its a great technique. I really like it better than regular cables. Thanks for the great interview with Lily. She’s quite a character. So much energy!!
I’ve loved so many of my cable projects, but one of my favorites has been the Owl Hat which has cables that twist up to look like owls!
Great interview with Lily Chin! My favorite cable project was the last one I did – the Beach House Pullover from IK Summer 2010 – the staghorn cable pattern knits up into a wonderfully warm fabric that has already kept me toasty warm around the campfire a number of nights this summer!
Probably my favorite cabling experience was the inside out socks. They are not reversible but they can be worn either way. right side out or inside out. I have made attempts to continue cabling but have not found inspiration. I love Lily Chin and would hope other than the five way cable wrap (Which was a freebie I’ve yet to really get to) I hope I’d find something in this book.
That was a GREAT interview!!! … I have not done anything with cables, I have done a mock cable on a washcloth. I would like to learn cables & would love it if I won her book! 🙂 I think it would be fun to do a cabled shawlette or scarf.
my favorite cable was a hat that i made in high school to try cables. i gave the hat to my best friend for his birthday. he wore it to shreds. it was so loved.
I’m really enjoying the interviews with all the knitting designers. Thanks. Cute haircut by the way. Ms. Chin’s new book sounds like a must have. I am so glad Yarnmarket is sponsoring you. When I am looking for yarn I always go there first.
I absolutely love her accent. I haven’t seen a lot of her stuff, but what I have seen I really like. My last cable project was a pair of hats. They’re two totally different hats, but I made them within the same week. One had the Owl cable pattern around the brim and the other was knit sideways with a braid cable around the bottom. I do love DOING cables, but find that I don’t really like the look of a big complex cable like in an aran sweater, I prefer subtler cables. If I did win the book I’d see if I couldn’t just get more into cables, maybe find a way to use them more, but not have them be so obnoxious. (To me the look of a complex cable pattern an a sweater is overwhelming to the eye.) 🙂
Great interview with Lily Chin. I’ve done several different cabled projects, but my favorite and most abitious project by far, was an Irish Cape for my best friend for her Christmas gift 3 years ago. I didn’t have an actual pattern, but I kept going to the Irish store in Coeur d’Alene, ID and taking verrrry close looks at the $400.00 cape in the store. I then tried to copy it as closely as possible from memory, since that was the gift she really wanted that year. No way could I begin to afford $400.00 but I made it for around $100.00. She loved it so it was worth the effort.
Fun interview! Thanks for all the hard “behind the scenes” work that goes into these…well worth the effort. I adore cables. I’ve done 4 Gretels in the last couple months (for Chrismas) and I just cast on for EZ’s Aran Coat. I’m not a fan of the sheep’s fold, so I changed out all of the cables for a more “Celtic” feel to it. Traditional?….no. Fun?…Heck yeah!!
Take care!
Love, Ang
I made a cable sweater that I love to this day. I look forward to a reversable cable project. I love the mustard sweater, but need a short version. Happy Knitting Everyone!
Fun show, and love Lilly’s “pink” 🙂
Cables — My favorite cable project I’ve done is from Julia Mueller, a young German knitwear designer. She designs mostly gloves, and I really enjoyed the different visual effect in her fun Eisblume gloves with a circular cable stitch!
http://www.laris-designs.com/?p=236
With all the gorgeous cabled garments out there, it’s so hard to choose. I absolutely adore Owls by Kate Davies, on Ravelry. I’m going to make it some day. Thanks for a great show.
I’ve tried cables last winter on a pair of gloves, and it went well so now I’ve got 2 projects lined up with cables, number 1, Knitting Daily’s “little lamb sock critter” knit-along. If this goes well, number 2 will be from yarn I’ve ordered in an alpaca and bamboo blend (a lovely red) to make the “Opulent raglan” sweater from interweave press. It’s got some scary looking cables down the front, I can hardly wait to get started and see if I’m in over my head!
Hi
I love lily chen and i love cables. My most resent cable project(because i have to,HAVE TO,do a cable project as one of my wip’s)is a top sleevless from drops : http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/64-9-top-with-cables-in-paris
this is my project page :
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/shmopi/64-9-top-with-cables-in-paris.
My favorite cable project was a hat I test-knitted for someone on Ravelry a couple of years ago. I’m currently really interested in reversible knitting, so looking forward to seeing Lily’s book!
I first learned to knit cables over the summer of 1986 by working my way through Barbara Walker’s Learn-to-Knit Afghan, making a gift for my boyfriend back in college.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-learn-to-knit-afghan
Good thing I never heard of the Boyfriend Sweater Curse – we’re still together, married 14 years now with three boys, and that’s *still* his favorite blanket! I’d originally gotten the book from my home town library; a couple of years ago I finally tracked the pattern down again, found a used copy online and knitted it again for myself so I could quit borrowing the original from him all the time.
My first cable project was Na Craga by Alice Starmore. It was my first major project after a long hiatus from knitting. I have made many cabled sweaters and afghans since then, and love all things cable. I look forward to checking out Lily Chin’s new book.
My favorite cable is a afghan I did with my mother when I was in my early teens. It’s made from the old fashioned yarn ribbons that we wore in our hair and my father created huge needles for my mom to knit with from 1 inch dowels.
I have only attempted 1 cable project. I made a snook for my husband and he loved it. I would love to make a purse with cables.
I love your show – thanks for all the great interviews and such. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with cables because they aren’t reversible – until now! One of my favorite cabled projects was fingerless mitts I made for Christmas presents a couple years ago – I made gobs of them. I look forward to adding Lily’s new book to my library – one way or another!!
A few years ago when I started knitting I picked up a learn to knit kit from Lions Brand. It had yarn, stitch instructions and a pattern for a scarf. I started the scarf but decided I would never wear it.
I searched around on the internet and finally found a scarf pattern I liked. I think it was a fishermans scarf or something. I don’t remember where I found it.
Anyway, it had 2 cables running criss cross all the way down. I loved it. It was my first cabled project and my favorite.
Wonderful interview, thank you for bringing us such a creative person! I am just getting back into knitting. Learned to knit and pearl at about 8 years old. Just enough to do a little blanket for a doll. My friend Marcia Ells is connecting me to good websites now so I am getting more interested in learning more. She should win the book! Thank you.
I was a crocheter before I was a knitter, and I have loved and followed Lily Chin’s crochet patterns for many years. Now I am a knitter too. I loved the projects. I have seen way too many “1980” style fisherman sweaters. Her new styles look up to date and gorgeous.
Thanks for all the podcasts!
My favorite project involving cables would be the purse I’m making my Mother for christmas. It’s my first cable project, and I’m really liking the results.
Thank you for this show. I don’t often comment, but I always look forward to it coming out. And I can always count on your outtakes to make me giggle. :o)
My favorite cable item that I’ve completed is the Elbac scarf.
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/epic1313/elbac
My current cable project isn’t reversible, but it sure is fun.
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/epic1313/spring-forward
I’m not terribly experienced with cable knitting, but my favorite project has been Koolhaas- hands down. Easy, small, and very fun to knit. I’m actually looking for an excuse to knit another one.
I’ve really enjoyed this series of interviews. Very informative and inspiring.
The next cabled project I’d like to knit is the Dickinson Pullover from IK Fall 2007 (I think), but I’m hesitant to knit cables in bulky. Hoping to find a suitable worsted substitute.
I would really love to make that beautiful coat from Lily Chin’s book. I am also planning on making Durrow for my husband and myself. I have the Rivulet scarf on the needles for my MIL. There is a WEBS pattern called Soft Cable Throw that I plan to make one day. Oh, yes, and there is the Blackberry Cabled Cardigan… and that doesn’t even mention all of the cabled projects I have made to date. There is much love for cables here.
My favorite cable project was the EZ Aran Fisherman’s Sweater http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Mimitojwm/an-aran-sweater-january I did for my DH last year. I have also just finished the Hermiones Eyelet and Cable Hat http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Mimitojwm/hermiones-cable–eyelet-hat and a pair of cabled fingerless gloveshttp://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cabled-fingerless-gloves-3. And now I am looking at another cabled hat for my DH for winter. Knit on!
I’ve just discovered your website and watched every show I could into the wee hours of the morning. I love your show.
I’m new to knitting and recently made a set of baby socks that were cabled. I didn’t realize how easy they were. I’m thinking of making the fingerless gloves you had on one of your holiday gift shows, next.
Thanks To all who make lk2g possible!
I would be on my highest creative cloud ever if I owned this book.
My favorite and only cabled project that I’ve knitted is “Eliana’s Smocked Jacket”.
Designed by Debbie Bliss. It is the most gorgeous little girls jacket ever!
But now I’m excited to design my own…Thanks Lily Chin for your new book 🙂
Yeah, Cat, the sweater, not the guy. 😉
I think my favorite cable project was designing my own sweater vest. On the back, some of the ribs twist into a knot out of nowhere. It was a first attempt at ‘designing,’ and that a bit off the cuff, but it was still fun to do. In the process, I also learned that you can fix a cable after the fact without ripping everything back! Totally worth it.
http://willyg-strings-n-stuff.blogspot.com/2010/02/sweater-story-hour.html
Okay Cat you can take the sweater, I take the guy 😉
First sorry for my bad english.
my best experiance with cables was also my first project knitting since I was a child.
My husband was born in Scheveningen in the Netherlands, so I want to make a real fishermen sweater with a patern from Scheveningen. the sweater was on a 2.5 mm needles and took more than a year to finish. the collar was rubbish, but my husband loves it and still ( after 8 years) wear it with pride.
I’m really enjoying all your knitting celebrity interviews. Great inspirations for both design and techniques.
My absolute favourite cable pattern is Silver Belle from the Vogue 25th anniversary issue. I have it queued and the Debbie Bliss yarn required in my stash in a yummy dusty plum colour. I plan on finally starting on it this winter the second I see the first flake of snow.
The last time I had made a cable sweater was back in the mid 80’s. I had made matching cable aran sweaters for myself and my hubby. I was very proud of myself but more so when a few weeks later I was wearing mine at a local mall and was stopped by an Irish woman who had asked if I had bought it in her homeland. When I told her I had made it she couldn’t say enough encouraging things. I still have our sweaters stored away.
I loved this interview with Lily Chin–what a talented lady she is! My favorite cable project was my first. While in high school, my boyfriend’s mother was making a cabled baby bunting for a new grandchild. I loved it and asked if she would teach me to knit and help me make one for my sister, who was pregnant (I knew how to knit but had never knit a garment before). Forty years later, I still have that beautiful little bunting and bonnet–it was used by four nieces and nephews and both of my children. When I look at it now, I’m amazed I was able to do work that was so complicated–Alan’s mother was a very talented women and a great teacher.
My favorite cable pattern is in the Knitter’s Aran & Cables compilation book. I believe it is by Nancy Bush. Unfortunately, I don’t have it here to check.
Nice interview with Lily. Thanks.
I loved the interview with Lily Chin, she is so lively and cute! I loved the red sweater with the mock icord cables running through it, I would wear it everywhere! My 1st project with cables I would like to knit is the “Central Park Hoodie” that I ordered online from knittingdaily.com. I think I will end up making a few in different colors because it just looks so casual yet elegant and wearable day or night. Keep up the awesome Vlogging! We need you Kat!
Cat!!!!
Hi Cat, great episode as usual. My only project with cables has been a scarf. I love the look of it and I really enjoyed making it. There will be more cables on my needles for sure!
I guess my favorite would have to be the owlet sweater I made my daughter. It was my first sweater and it was fun to see the cables and neck take shape.
My favorite cable project I knit when my daughter was in elementary school (she’s in college now). I wanted her to have a traditional Aran style sweater so I bought the Yankee Knitter pattern and some ecru yarn and cast on. I wasn’t able to read my knitting at the time and had to write down every stitch so that I could keep my place in the pattern. When it was completed I had learned so much I felt like a real knitter.
Thanks for another great show, and please enter me in the drawing. I just finished the cabled “princess mitts” (aka Cabled Fingerless Mitts) originally published in the Knitters Book of Yarn. They use a cable called “four rib braid”. I love how they came out. And I love cables. They look so much more difficult than they really are!
I LOVE cables! they are my go to when I’m bored with a commission piece! Right now I’m working on a random cable blanket for my older sister…..she hates knitting cables so I thought it would be appropriate to have them going crazy all over a nice warm blankie!
Nice interview with Lily Chin and please enter me in the drawing for her book. It looks like fun – especially that mustard coat!
My favourite cable project, well there are two:
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/fireflyhill/shocking
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/fireflyhill/twist-and-shout
Both made years ago, and worn every winter.
One of my favourite things I did with cables are Bellas mittens from the movie Twilight. It is also the project that got me knitting again. I loved the mittens when I watched the movie and wanted some of my own. I searched high and low and finally found the originals, but they where about 80$ a pair. Absolutely not in my price range. So I looked for a pattern, bought some yarn and started knitting. I love them and lots of my friends really liked them, too, and I knitted a few more for them since.
My favorite cabled project to date was Wendy D. Johnson’s Highland Fling socks. I love cables! In fact, my first knitting project ever was a little cabled bag from a learn-to-knit kit.
My favorite cabled project was my Cardigan for Arwen, but my first cabled project was a reversible cabled scarf. I had no idea at the time that it was in any way more challenging than a normal project with cables. I loved how complicated it looked with the cable needle, and even though most knitters I know are moving away from the cable needle, I still enjoy using it. I hope to knit a cabled bag in the near future.
I plan on making some kind if cabled sweater. Maybe one with tiny little cables. I still have yet to find the perfect pattern.
I enjoyed the Lily Chin interview. Thanks, Cat. I have many favorite cable projects but if I had to pick one, it would be the Eye of the Helix Socks by Cynthia Levy. Here’s the link to my project in Ravelry:
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/JeanInMaine/solid-socks-may-june-2010-mystery
my favorite cable project i have done is lion brand’s cable ready bag
Oh Cat, I had such a giggle along with you on this episode. So funny!!!! You and Eric are a treat.
Also – I’m a HUGE Lily Chin fan. She taught reversible cables at my LYS several years ago, and it’s still one of the best classes I have attended.
My favorite cable project so far was the Veste Evereste I made, a pattern by Veronik Avery. It’s in my Ravelry projects at http://www.ravelry.com/projects/BrownBerry/veste-everest.
Great show as always!
Marce
Hi Cat!
First of all thank you and Eric for bringing us such quality in your video podcast! You have interviewed such high profiled designers in a way I probably would not have otherwise experienced. I have challenged a cable stitch block in a sampler afghan (I am still working on)I have fell in love with this stitch. It brings such detail and texture to any project! Hats off to you and Eric and as we say it in Savannah GA…Y’all keep up the good work!
I am new to cables and very intimidated by them, but I have attempted and succeeded with a simple cabled purse pattern. I have made several with recycled bulky yarn (from sweaters) and love the way it turns out! Someday I will be bold and branch out to more sophisticated cable patterns…but now, baby steps!
One of my favorite cable patterns that I have knit was one that the Yarn Harlot talked about a few years back. Its a Patons pattern called Must have cardigan. What made it so fun or crazy is I decided to knit it in black. I did this becuase I figure some day I will want a black sweater and I thought I better do it while I can still see to do it. I love how it turned out and I wear it all the time
Loved the show with Lily Chin. I had heard about the technique but had not seen any items knit using it. Enjoyed the detailed, close ups of the items.
Love the out-takes…keep them coming. We all need to learn to laugh at ourselves more often.
Thanks for the interview! I too am still intimidated by cables, but I look forward to learning more about them, and someday (hopefully soon) being able to knit myself a cabled scarf! 🙂
My favorite cable pattern is actually one of Lilly Chin’s. its the reversible cable scarf. It was the first time I tried cables and thought she was so clever to make them reversible.
I really enjoy all the interviews, thank you so much!
My faveorite cables have been the ones on the Central Park Hoodie. I cant wait to knit another version of this sweater for fall. I’d better get started!
Thanks for the interviews I can watch while knitting. My next cable dream project is an allover cabled pullover for my mother to make up for borrowing hers so many times. She has worn my other (ugly) sweater attempts and designs but really deserves a cabled masterpiece. In this upcoming project, I will have to tackle/battle color choice, shaping to flatter hers, and startitis, and challenges to concentration (namely, her grandchildren who continue to live in my house and eat up my food and knitting time).
Thanks everyone for your great comments!
The winner of Lily’s book is: Megan!
