(For those of you that don't want the mystery broken, don't scroll down. I have pictures of the first foundation.)
To start off, let's review the yarn: Nashua Sonora
Fiber Content: 46% Silk, 31% Viscose Rayon, 20% Linen, 3% Nylon
The color is a white/cream base and the yarn is textured. When crocheted, the yarn does not have much stretch. It is also very easy to split due to the textured nature. This will be an interesting venture.
The first clues for the foundation were very interesting to hear. I found out quickly enough that I have to have absolutely no background noise to concentrate on the instructions. (As I write this, I am watching the NFL highlights and getting geared up for the Packers-Bears game. Go Pack!)
The first clue was very short and sweet, but there were some interesting tidbits on the differences in the naming conventions between US/Canada and Europe. Did you know that the US version of the slip stitch is actually known as the single crochet in Europe? If you didn't, you do now.
Part of my foundation is pictured above. You can see the the different strands of this yarn very distinctly. I really like how the foundation has turned out and I am excited to continue on with the next stage.
Come back soon to see an update on my progress.
