I was looking at the trail of rose ground referred to previously, and did not see the area Patty refers to, but I still believe that is not correct honeycomb as the gimp should be inside the two middle pin holes. Mark's "honeycomb" has 8 pinholes, not six. I have not come across an 8 pinhole honeycomb, but then, I have not done a whole lot of pointground and may have missed this feature. Janice

In Torchon, Honeycomb stitch comes out elongated and looks more like ovals than circles from the 45 degree ground vs. round in the 60 degree (or so) ground in point ground. Roseground is easier in Torchon since every corner gets a pin. (At least, I think so).
