Thread: Twisted-Stitch Knitting

> hi, I have the 3 original books in German; if I didn't, I'd definitely buy the new version. There are a few patterns but for the most part it's a stitch dictionary. --Steph ps made this sweater utilizing the stitch patterns from the book: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephcat/sets/7215761 4995639931/ Steph http://www.sunsetcat.com StephCat on Ravelry! ...

> Thanks for sharing pics of your beautiful sweater, Steph. It looks great on you. Do the books contain much in the way of history, traditions in putting the stitch patterns together, etc.?

> My german is very minimal...and I've only flipped through the new version once, very quickly -- but I do think the Schoolhouse Press one does have some. Steph http://www.sunsetcat.com StephCat on Ravelry! http://aranknittingring.blogspot.com/

> Thanks again, Steph. I'm impressed that you're turning out beautiful FOs using a source in a foreign language! Suzanne Flickr pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2totangle/ Ravelry project page: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/2totangle

> Schoolhouse Press has just published the set in English! The link is here: http://www.schoolhousepress.com/newbooks.htm Scroll down the page--it is the 8th one down. Schoolhouse Press is a National Treasure! Anna Think globally, act locally

> I think that's the edition she's interested in :^) Now, if they could just do the Fanderl / B?uerliches Stricken ones too.... Steph http://www.sunsetcat.com StephCat on Ravelry! http://aranknittingring.blogspot.com/

> Oooooh, Steph, what are those? Suzanne Flickr pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2totangle/ Ravelry project page: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/2totangle

> they're the ones I *don't* have....also only in German, out of print though so harder to get and more expensive. 3 volumes. http://www.librarything.com/work/27311&book=245850 8 Steph http://www.sunsetcat.com StephCat on Ravelry! http://aranknittingring.blogspot.com/

> They are available from Amazon.de and ebay.de - but carefully check the offers: I just wanted to order the three books for 29,90, only to see just in time that it was only the first volume at that price. Good luck! Klara http://www.lahottee.info
