Lily Chin has a passion for knitting costumes. Here she is with her knitted Wonder Woman costume.

When asked whether using a machine to knit was "cheating," Lily Chin replied "is it cheating for a seamstress to use a sewing machine?" The Sew Much More cameras visit Chin, a knitter who uses a computer to create designs then hand-embellishes each unique garment she creates.

This hip knitter's passion is to revive knitting and crocheting for today. No wonder she's caught the eye of Vanna White, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. She's designed for them all. Her next project? A book that features young women like herself, equally passionate about reviving knitting as a needle art entitled, The Urban Knitter.
