As always, I couldn't resist buying some books for my daughter. I was trying to find re-editions of those I read myself in childhood, with the same illustrations (I still remember all of them), hope she would appreciate it.
And this one is a great book our neighbour presented to me. "The Knitting Alphabet" by M.V. Maksimova (1990). There is a plenty of knitted techniques explained, including the short rows (I've never met it in other russian knitting books).
On the page of this book I recognised the models from the my mothers' little knitting library. It was a set of kind of postcards with one pattern on each of them edited early in 80's.
My favorite patterns.
