I used to be able to take half stitch or leave it (preferably leave it) until I discovered how easy it is to do in wire--a half stitch area in wire can be worked row by row, as if I were using thread, instead of having to be tensioned after every stitch as I must work cloth stitch! And, as Bev says, it can expand or contract to fill almost any sized space much more effectively than cloth stitch will.
Honeycomb always reminds me of...well, honeycombs, a nice association IMO. I'm glad it doesn't remind me of tapioca pudding since I really don't like that much!
