You explain things SO well, Lorelei. I think we usually use Reticella as a generic term meaning lace in that geometric style. I know I do, anyway. This may be a bit sloppy, but most people are not bothered with the finer points of whether it is the Embroidery Reticella, or the Punto in Aria Reticella.
I have laid the foundation for a slightly curved piece - a neck band or high collar, and when drawing up the pattern I drew the line between the squares - over lapping at the inner curve, and splayed out fractionally at the outer curve. It does not seem to notice, but it is enough to curve the pattern to the correct shape. The overlapping and splaying was only about as thick as the pen line, so minimal. Hmmm! That is a UFO I need to get back to. Thanks for reminding me!!!
