So in the past I've been using buttonhole stitch for my eyelets and buttonholes. It has been pointed out to me recently that the extant samples in Textiles and Clothing use blanket stitch instead. I tried it out on the eyelets on the linen hose, and it worked just fine. I'd only ever used a wide blanket stitch on tricky hems and stuff in the past, and didn't think it would be as sturdy as buttonhole stitch for eyelets, but I couldn't really tell the difference. It was, however, less fiddly to do and caused fewer tangles, so I call it a win. That is all.
