Debbie,
Oooh, working on the diagonal in regular charts sounds very interesting!

Melanie,
I was actually referring to working on the diagonal on regular charts, but I will most definiately check it out in the huck weaving as well.  Thanks!

Debbie,
So glad I could help! 
If you're talking about huck weaving on the diagonal, it really adapts quite well to it.  If you look at the bookmarks, some of the lines are on the diagonal...it just means using the advantage of that "staggered" arrangement of the blocks/floats in the Aida cloth.

Not confusing at all, thank you!  Mystery solved!  LOL ... I've been playing with some patterns that I want to be going on a diagonal on my graph ... I haven't quite figured them out yet, but I'm still playing with it ... I'll figure it out eventually.
 
 

Debbie,
Not only is it amazing, but you'll be surprised at how quick and easy it is, a lovely break from how slow and tedious cross stitch can sometimes be!    Here's where symmetrical and a little asymmetry, as well, can really make something interesting.  Two of the bookmarks here are perfectly symmetrical, as you can see, but just a tiny bit of asymmetry makes the very last one look like a winding path. 
If you look closely at that last one, for instance, concentrate on the outermost (darkest) line on either of the two sides.  That "broken" look with the white "dotted" looking spots is where the floss is woven under the floats, in every other square.  It's a little harder to tell with the lighter colors of the rows next to those, but if you could see closer, you'd discover the white is actually staggered from the rows next to it.  If you think about it, that's because of the weave of Aida cloth...every other square has the two floats sitting vertically, whereas the ones sitting between each of those vertical float squares has two horizontal floats.  So the design sort of goes diagonally, due to the inherent properties of the Aida cloth. 
If you had a large piece of Aida and turned it 90 degrees, you'd be using the horizontal floats, which would then of course become the vertical floats.    (LOL, since one really can't go under horizontal floats with this kind of fabric and this kind of craft!)
LOL, sorry if that's confusing...so hard to explain without a better photo!

Wow ... I'm going to have to put this on my list of things to research ... very curious how you can use aida cloth to do this and yet have nothing on the back side of the fabric ... amazing to me.
 

Debbie,
I'm sure there are some fantastic tutorials and free patterns online...soooo happy you like these!    Compared to counted cross stitch, it's so easy and quick.  I made these a really long time ago, so I don't remember how long they took, but am guessing one could be done in a couple of hours, perhaps less. 
It's really wild to turn these upside down and on the back you see...nothing!    Oh, and no weaving in ends.  Just leave them loose and make it part of the work.

Very nice ... I'm going to have to investigate huck weaving more closely.
