This stitch gives us a chance to play with various threads. The threaded part especially is where the more challenging threads, fuzzy ones, knotted ones, thick ones and so on, can be used.
However, a foundation fabric with a good grid will give you a better Blanket Stitch base to work on, as you can see on the Aida Sampler.

It reminds me of a bridge I saw in Italy recently.
The aida does make for a lovely even spacing, doesn't it..
Great samples and the Aida does give the advantage of precision when that is wanted.
I love your samples of this stitch. I have yet to try it but definitely plan to.
You’ve done very well keeping the stitches even.
