BOOKS
Guida al ricamo reticello e merlatto venziano "A great book with wonderfully clear photros of each stage of the work."
Giuliana Buonpadre: "Gli Andichi Il Reticello" published in 2005. Jenny says:
Her books only seem to be available through her. Check out her web pages at
http://www.filofilo.it/eng/index.php Go to the books tab, then right down the bottom she gives info on prices & how to obtain them.
Virginia Bonfiglioli Chiavegato: Punto in Àere, Antico Merletto ad ago di Bologna. Publ by RE Enzo Editrice, 2003. pages: 120. Language: Italian
Carmelina says: It's totally ilustrated, with patterns from beginners to experts. She gives indications about fix the lace to the fabric. The graphics are big with very clear instructions (if you speak italian, I've been translating them to spanish). The patterns have numeration for the execution. The graphics are done by Sergio Chiavegato and seem engineering work: perfect. The photos are lovely with precious examples of reticello and punto in àere. I have no doubt that it's a very useful book.
Ricci, Elisa. Old Italian Lace, Vol. 1 part 5 has photos of some reticello samplers with a variety of motifs that could be copied.
Devon says: "look for Ostaus, Parasole and Vinciolo to find scanned copies of 19th century reprints of the original 17th and 16th century pattern books which feature reticello and punto in aria designs of unquestionable authenticity."
Laura Marzorati: Guida al ricamo Reticello e merletto veneziano, and Guida al ricamo Reticello Liberty

There are step-by-step photos, good diagrams, works in progress, 11 different delicious projects, many filling stitches. (Review taken from Italian Needlework website by Jeanine in Canada.)
Margaret Stephens A GUIDE TO EMBROIDERED LACE.
This is a step by step beginners guide to a Reticella type lace but worked within fabric after the cut out squares are stitched around. Her photographs and diagrams of each step are very clear, and she takes Small steps so the complete novice can understand what is what! It progresses with clear instructions on how to cut away and make the grid, to step by step instructions on how to fill the grid with a variety of motifs.
There are 15 motifs shown, and corners and an edge, and at the end of the book are some patterns for more complex designs. Her samples show multiple motifs arranged within the same piece to make a variety of patterns. Includes instructions for Left-handed workers too.
ONLINE SOURCES FOR PATTERNS:

Has 1 relatively simple design for practice near the end. http://wkneedle.bayrose.org/needlelace-reticella.html This one has a different pattern, and is worked in the needle lace manner (fabric is only a temporary scaffold).
