OSW & Straw Hat

I've started my One Skein Wonder in TLC Amore. The color is Lake Blue and I have Lagoon Print for the borders/sleeves. More than likely, I'll stick with Lake Blue for the whole project.


Don't ask me if I'm on gauge, I can't see the stitches but I do love this yarn.


I should have made my first OSW with a yarn that allowed me to see the stitches...then again, if I make a mistake, who will ever know?

About a month ago, I made a lot of these...

...for a Lion Brand 'Straw Hat'. The yarn label has a prettier picture than the website. I'm using Lion Brand Cotton in Maize. Crochet must make me tense because I broke a hook in half! I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right.
