Quick and non-curated bibliography for my local structures study group - few annotations, very few links, very little attention to proper bibliographic format, but hey - it's a start! Discoveries: Multiple variations - Brick treading/singles/traditional/alternating, and "O's/pairs/roseate/birdseye, and X's/pairs/hourglass, and Dukagang fashion 1 and 2/columns. And then you can change the look of the pairs by starting the tabby with 2 instead of 1! And then you can turn the draft. And then…
