Mock Honeycomb

I thought I had replied to your support e-mail for the honeycomb stitch, but somehow sent the message to myself. (I'm still thinking about that one.) Anyway, I tried the pattern again and realized that I was not catching the k sts under the strands (after pulling then up). I was pulling up strands, then knitting the next stitch separately. That's why I was getting extra sts.
So, about 30 mins. later, I had a nice sample of honeycomb. Thanks much.
The Zigzag is now giving me fits, but I don't think I'll use this one anyway. It takes much longer to knit and uses a lot more yarn. It is also much denser than I want for my jacket. I love the half-linen sts. and have used it before on other items. It would make a nice bottom edge for the garment. Simple and it draws attention to the other more intricate patterns.
Thanks for your help. :) - Sahara
