Avital commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"It's also a matter of covering the ends when you switch colors. The organization that publishes the Puncetto books has started selling them directly. They're 35 euros, plus another 25 euros shipping, IIRC.
They've also published a 3rd…"
Avital commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"I'm glad you found the translation list helpful. Elana, the woman who used to sell the Puncetto books, helped me with some of the more obscure terms. Alessandra D, someone who found my blog and wrote to me, contributed a couple more. She told…"
Avital commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"Actually, the knot is a little different from Oya. The Oya knot has the thread going in a figure-8 path. Puncetto is more like a blanket stitch with an extra wrap.
I wear multifocals, too, and I swear by the Mageyes. I've used them since I…"
Avital commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"I use Mageyes when I'm doing cross-stitch on 36-count fabric. They might help you."
Puncetto My first motif
"Well its amazing, I have seen minatures in Bobbin lace but would not even consider to try that small and I so love miniatures. Knowing me I usually try to get away with using as much thread as I can in one go as joining is not my best thing. I have…"
Avital commented on Avital's photoPuncetto My first motif
"No, I have a lot of experience working on miniatures and fine embroidery, so I can manage with my own eyesight for Puncetto. Also, the stitches don't require a lot of precision, once you figure out how much thread to use."

Colored Puncetto
"WOW so amazing, whats even more amazing is that the Author of the Puncetto youtube video made a comment about uploading another of those amazing videos doing Puncetto. I would so love to know how to get hold of one of the books."

Burano Lacemaker
"Avital
Thanks for posting this here. It shows another way of setting up. Very useful."
Avital replied to Avital's discussion Burano lace"Unfortunately, no. Believe me, if there were, I would have taken photos! There were only two lacemakers. One was working on the cordonnet and the other was doing buttonhole stitch around a ring, very briefly (she came late and spent most of the time…"

Avital replied to jessica's discussion turkish oya technique in the group Puncetto"Hi, Onna, unfortunately, I'm in the middle of preparations for Passover, so I'm up to my ears in cleaning supplies! I won't have time for a while but thanks for reminding me that I'd mentioned doing animations for Oya.
I agree…"
Avital commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"Oh, right -- I have that pattern around somewhere as well. Good luck!"

- Hi, Onna, the loops are quite tight. It takes some practice to get the loops small, yet big enough that you can stick a needle through them. Keep practicing! When I started my loops were too big. If you try solid areas first, before squares, you'll see the correct tension more easily because it's meant to be quite solid, not open and lacy. Good luck!

Onna Addis said… I just love your work , Avital. Do you know how to write out patterns for these?
I am curious on the one big square that has 4 squares in it. do you keep the stitches like the large loops in in ascii show or are they actually tighter? are the loops just large to show you where to put the next st.? I tried it loopy and mine was a mess. HELP!! lol
thank you so much ,
