Hmm. I wonder if Alex will weigh in on this, but I don't recall ever having seen curved reticella. After all, it works on a base of threads removed from woven cloth, so unless the cloth was woven in a curve (nope, never seen that either) how would you do it? You could step the squares around a corner, with each square being worked on a different base of threads, but I would think each square itself would have to be worked on with a straight top and bottom. I think with such a gentle curve as is in the photo, they would have made a straight piece and just shaped it to fit.
If you just cut out a curved shape and then laid in foundation threads to use as a basis for the needle lace, would that still be considered Reticella or does it start to be Punto in Aria?
