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
So how would you distinguish between a ground using CTT p CTT stitches
thus:
\ . . . . . . .
/ . . . . . .
\ . . . . . . .
/ . . . . . .
\ . . . . . . .
((though this looks more like a bucks grid than a torchon one, it is
meant to look torchon!)
and one with the honeycomb mesh, thus: ?
\ . . . . . . . .
/ . . . .
\ . . . . . . . .
/ . . .
\ . . . . . . . .
It is the latter that I would call a honeycomb ground, because of the
distinctive honeycomb formation once the stitches are made.
(ignore the /s ad \s, they are there to hopefully keep the spacing of
the dots!) It is the former ground that I found the books call Spanish
Ground - and I think this is also the one that the original question was
about.
