It's amazing to me -- fascinating really -- that these two stitch patterns are almost identical. A stitch is slipped in the bottom where it is knit in the top. Slipping a stitch causes the fabric to condense, requiring more rows to fill an inch. Slip verses knit is all it takes, all it takes to drastically change the look. Like I said, fascinating.

A combination of the two could be used to good effect in a garment too.
Just curious, or dense, what gets passed on your version? You've got psso but no slip.

And the Vine stitch, to begin with, was based on my enjoyment of the two-color star stitch from Barbara Walker's second treasury -- which I think you may have used to knit a dishcloth? It never ceases to fascinate me how changing one or two little things can drastically alter a stitch pattern.

Nona, thank you so much for this delightful adventure. One question: How are you figuring you'll attach the log cabin squares? Will you simply pick up stitches? Thanks again, Liz

Isn't this two swatches?
The power of swatching can show much more than we can predict.

You're absolutely right, that's truly fascinating!
