Uberlieferte Strickmuster Aus Dem Steirischen Ennstal Teil 1 (Twisted Stitch Knitting, Book 1) by Maria Erlbacher
In German (Austria), with insert giving English translations for pattern names for all 3 books, plus a second insert explaining the basic technique.
A classic trio of Austrian books (originally titled, Uberlieferte Strickmuster) is now in English and amalgamated into one volume. 174 intriguing twisted-stitch designs plus instructions for a number of jackets/cardigans, vests and elegant stockings with separate motifs in the calf-shaping. Meg Swansen and Amy Detjen augmented the technique section, explaining more fully things that had stymied them.
