Pete,
You and Nick are right, it's not the Pott's but the parallel weave.

The weave you linked below is best shown (in my opinion) by Oliver Edward's
"Polish Nymph" video segment... I *THINK* it is on his 'essential skills'
dvd... but he calls it the "polish nymph weave'. As for the "real" name, I'm
not certain - I think it's the "Polish Weave", but that's likely wrong. I
think it's in the Fly Tyers' Benchside Reference, but with moving the tying
room into the tying 'corner' to make room for the nursery, I haven't found the
book nor looked it up. I mean no offense, but I don't think it's the Potts
weave, as that ends up like a even-edged Mohawk down the top of the fly, if I
remember correctly, versus the zipper- look seen at the link.
Just trying to help, is all - and apologies if this was already replied to...
I've several hundred e-mails that piled up over the last week or so that I'm
trying to wade through...
Tight wraps,
Pete
