PUNCETTO
"I recently purchased Puncetto Valsesiano - Manuale de Base from
http://www.italian-needlecrafts.com/.
I live in the USA, and received my order in a week. This is Elena Rossi's website (a member of NEEDLELACETALK) She speaks English. For those seeking puncetto instructions, this is a terrific book. Manuale de Base means the basics. If you do not understand the Italian (like me), the diagrams are easy to follow. After a year of looking for basic techniques, I am well pleased. In addition, I am more confident, after fumbling with other sources. Best wishes, Lucy Ludwig"

From Lucy:
A SCUOLA DI PUNCETTO VALESIANO - extremely well executed book on Puncetto with clear, colorful graphics and lots of pictures. The graphical notation system is the same as in Manuale de Puncetto Valsesiano. I think the Scuola and the Manule pair well, but one or the should get you started.

Avital's review of this book: http://apinnick.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/book-review-a-scuola-di-puncetto-valsesiano/
PUNCETTO COLORATO - by the same publisher, with the same high production values, covers colorwork. I find the designs and color combinations very inspiring for all sorts of techniques.

Brona has posted some diagrams for simple motifs on her blog:

Laurie Waters has collected a lot of information on puncetto for her article on LaceNews, including some how-to videos in other languages. But seeing the motions might still be useful.

Here is a Japanese site with clear photos of the first stage, using thick cord. Maybe it will help you see the starting point.

Recommendations from Barb G:

Anchor Manual of Needlework - Chapter 11 is about Puncetto and includes instructions. This book can be found on Amazon.com.

Poncetto Lace by Signorina Thersa Rizzi - a 16 page booklet published in 1917 that gives instructions and different patterns.

IF ANYONE COMES ACROSS ANY NEW INSTRUCTION MATERIAL IN ANY LANGUAGE, ABOUT THIS FORM, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL POST IT HERE.

Comment by carmen on May 5, 2012 at 3:42pm: estoy trabajando en puncetto valsesiano, ¡qué maravillas se pueden hacer!

Comment by Lorelei Halley on February 20, 2012 at 6:40pm: Robert

I do hope someone can find a source for you. I checked Holly Van Sciver but she has several oya books, but no puncetto that I could see.

I'm glad you have found Avital's tutorials helpful. Do show us pictures of your progress.

Comment by Robert on February 20, 2012 at 6:05pm: Where would one buy a Puncetto book now?

I have the Anchor book. In my searches, I have not been able to come across any others (other than the Manuale del Puncetto Colorato that Elena Rossi has on Esty -- which is probably too advanced for me).

I have been practicing using Avital's tutorials on her site. They were very helpful!

Comment by Lucy ludwig on January 29, 2012 at 11:12pm: Yes, Elena Rossi had to close Italian Needlecrafts. Really sorry about this. She was so great in sending things fast. A number of my favorite craft vendors have closed. According to Jeanine at the Italian Needlework blog, Elena plans on selling what is left of her inventory on etsy. I need to do a little research, but I've seen one or two other italian vendors; I do not know if they take international orders. I have another book Elena carried that I want. I'll let you know what she says. Also, Elena is a member of needlelacetalk, so perhaps she can weigh in.

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on January 29, 2012 at 8:50pm: If that is so, Pauline, then that is very sad. She had some great books there, - and her service was Excellent - I got my first order within 7 days - Italy to Australia, and the second order was in 8 days Including Easter, - so I thought it was terrific!. I am currently working some filet lace from one of the magazines I bought from her.

Comment by Pauline Kontani on January 29, 2012 at 7:29am: Is it correct that Italian Needlecrafts has stopped trading? If so I should imagine it will make getting the puncetto books difficult. Luckily I have both already but thought I should mention this as it will affect others.

Comment by Lorelei Halley on December 7, 2011 at 4:20pm: Silvia

Thank you for that link. I've added it to our RESOURCES above.

Comment by Silvia on December 7, 2011 at 3:43pm: I'd like to signal this post: http://italian-needlework.blogspot.com/2011/12/puncetto-snowflake-p... , where Jeanine explains perfectly how to make a puncetto snowflake

Comment by Brona Bacilkova on October 7, 2011 at 2:20am: I think it is antique needle case. Similar cases (less beautiful) are on the photos http://www.ktquilts.com/KTQAttic.php - but this is just my opinion, may be I'm wrong...

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on October 6, 2011 at 9:22pm: How observant you are, Pauline!! I only noticed the lace and thread on the front cover!! Hmmm. not sure what it is. there is a knob on the other end, in the deep shadow.I wonder if it is for wrapping your yardage around, but the knobby bit in the centre of the tool would make this possibly pull the lace out of shape. Maybe it is for wrapping spare thread around - it would hold 2 threads in the 2 "necks". this is my guess anyway. If you are using skeins of thread, like some of the DMC threads, then they fall apart, so winding them around a tool like this would keep them from tangling.

I look forward to other suggestions!
