Twisted-Stitch Knitting by Maria Erlbacher

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.
