To me it sounds like what I've always called the buttonhole stitch is actually a blanket stitch. Mary Corbett helps define the two, and now I can keep calling what I do the buttonhole stitch!

I mention this here not to confuse you, but to point out that one stitch can have many different names. What really matters to me is that I understand the stitch's construction to create it properly and use it to the best effect in a thread that will show it off properly.
