Ok, I’m not usually a sampler motif person, but I found that I can get such a bargain at $1.99 for all the motifs. It’s helpful to have the video, but the pattern and diagrams are sufficient to make on your own. I’m crocheting along daily with the video since I have many WIP’s. At this time, I’m using BSE yarn for one afghan and BSB yarn for another! It’s an interchangeable pattern!
