This is tidying up some ideas from pattern 587. I wanted to compare a Gravenmoer diamond to a diamond made of lattice stitch. I knew there were superficial similarities (there is a thread going downwards in each case) but were they obviously different? Also, I had discovered something I called star spider, and I wanted to try it out with lines of Torchon ground separating it.

Follow links to see how to work different parts.
Gravenmoer diamond to a diamond made of lattice stitch ARE completely different! The lattice stitch diamond is much more sparse.
The star spider is rather fun!
