Janice,
sorry but I am wondering that you told us this
It is usually surrounded
by a gimp which makes it look like round holes.
I have a few pattern were it is like this but mostly the honeycomb is
without gimp.
Looking throgh the book from Br. Cook "The Bobbin Lace Stitches" I am
very astonished what else has the word Honeycomb in.
In Germany we name it Rosengrund and we could do it in every ground-
stitch we all knew. Sometimes we work it as a net as on page 42 in the
Cook book. But more often it is part of the pattern between Torchon-
ground or others.
I like it very much for of them tofgether and surounded with Torchon-
ground than the honeycomb form a little flower.
Often honeycomb is used as a decoration on the edge. It is one of the
Torchon grounds we also find in other lace techniques.
