In the Torchon for Teachers class, we learned it this way. Torchon Ground CT p CT Dieppe Ground CT p CTT Honeycomb Ground CTT p CTT Cord Ground CTTT p CTTT Brussels Ground CTCT p CTCT
I'm sure that each of these has other names since lace was made in so many countries with different languages. The stitch combinations are used in many different laces so would tend to pick up varied labels. Alice in Oregon -- nice sun today, rain tomorrow.

I consulted several books and dictionaries. The closest name I could find for this stitch when it is worked on a regular torchon grid (as with Torchon Ground, CT p CT), was Spanish Ground. The stitch is used on a grid with alternate "gap rows" for honeycomb, although I later learned that in Torchon the Dieppe Ground stitch (CT p CTT) is used for honeycomb and the CTT p CTT stitch is used for honeycomb stitches in Bucks Point - I think most of us use either or both! Honeycomb as an all-over ground (rather than as small motifs within a pattern) is what the dictionaries/books describe as either Honeycomb Ground or Brabant Ground. (or should that be two 'b's in the middle - with a cat on my lap it is difficult to check!). So, I've always called it Spanish Ground, but I'm open to correction and will be interested to hear what everyone else thinks. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
