I'm not in a good position to search the archives, has anyone done a review of this book: Lace: Greek Threadwork by Tatiana Ioannou-yannara
http://books.google.com/books/about/Lace.html?id=4s8jqAAACAAJ I was paging through, and noticed several needle lace pieces made in the 17th century that I've seen in other books as punto in aria or reticella, but this is the only place I've ever seen it called Greek lace - more to the point, that author seems to be saying it's *commonly known as* Greek or Cretan lace, which I've never heard before. Mind you, I'm not at all debating where the pieces were made - I believe they were found in Crete, or are at least currently in their museum. I don't work in needle lace enough to have done much research on origins of particular styles. I'm just trying to figure out if there's something I've missed, since I specialize in making 16th and early 17th century lace, and want to make sure I know what I'm talking about!
