This sampler afghan gives me the opportunity to practice my knitting and try out several new stitches. Although I'm still a little slow its working up beautifully. I also like that its worked in strips instead of all at once, makes it much easier to handle.

I really like the way RedHeart provides a video for working stitches I've never done before. Seeing it done is a lot better than just reading the directions.
