Hello All! Thank you Avital for posting the puncetto instructions!! I'm waiting on future installments as the photos are clear & very helpful. Now all I need to do is transpose for a left-handed method. The Anchor book is around here somewhere so will have a look see there too. Wow, this is suitable for EGA since a threaded needle is involved. I just rejoined my old group in Ohio--exasperation with the local stitchers & same old, same old finally took its toll. It's 2.5hrs one-way but inquisitive textile artists are in the house & they rock!! Hmmm, puncetto sounds like a program to me. On Friday, I took my in-progress art nouveau lace tile to my chair caning class, where the teacher's wife is running a knitting/crocheting class at the other end of the room. I was mobbed!! One of the ladies is Italian-American so I made sure I had my Italian majolica (gimp) bobbins on the pillow. I was also wearing lace--machine made, that I dyed & beaded, then appliqued on a denim shirt. Amazement all around. Some gals, older than me (!!), didn't understand the difference between machine made & hand made. A teachable moment, for a newbie no less! Don't know that this will come to anything but I plan to take something lacy with me for each of the next classes. In a previous class, I introduced the teacher to Roumanian point lace by demonstrating how to make the cord. This week I gave her some patterns & she already had one of the knit/crochet students working on cord! Please pray for converts to the lacy life!! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA
