"Those of us who accompany Lily on her knitting explorations are treated
not only to the innovative designs that spring from her needles, but also to a
thorough and patient explanation of the 'hows and whys' of new techniques so
that we can incorporate them into our own knitting. I can guarantee that once
you've picked up Power Cables, you'll never look at cable stitches the
same way again." — Janet Szabo, publisher, Twists and Turns: The Newsletter

"Recommended for anyone who knits. I loved this book, When I first picked it up I practically drooled. The projects and illustrations made me want to grab my knitting needles and dive in headfirst. Cables. They scared me, but not with Lily Chin's instructions and charting system. I brought it to my knitting class, and my instructor went to work on the Five Way Cabled Shrug. All of us were transfixed as she whipped out a pink vision of lovliness. Wow."--Goodreads.com, June 2010
