It is a problem with many books and you need to check out what is being
described as cloth stitch and whole stitch (or cs + twist or ws + twist).
When we first re-started the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette with the Ottawa Lace
Guild there was a lot of discussion on this topic and how we were going to
describe the various stitches. It was decided that half stitch (CT), cloth
stitch (CTC) and whole stitch (CTCT) would be the way that the stitches
would be described. I don't think the current board of the Gazette has
changed that, but I'm sure Bev will let us know when she logs on later.
The 3 grounds are (in my mind at least) Torchon ground (half stitch, pin,
half stitch); Dieppe ground (half stitch, pin, half stitch + twist); and
Brussels ground (whole stitch, pin, whole stitch i.e. ctct pin ctct)

mega storm with 55cm of snow (22 inches)
