How To Color Pooling Using Addi King Size Knitting Machine

• You will need a variegated yarn of any brand. Unravel few yards of your yarn to see the color pattern and the length of each color.

• Make a swatch. Using your Addi King Size Knitting Machine, knit a flat piece. Count and take note of how many stitches per colors.

• Go to planned pooling site: http://plannedpooling.com/.  Add your colors and enter the number of stitches per color.

• Change the stitch count, this is will be the number of your cast on. Keep changing the number of the stitch count until you find the pattern you like. But remember, Addi king size machine has only 43 stitches in flat knit.

• After you find the "magic number" for your yarn, ready your Addi king size knitting machine and knit in flat.

• Block your piece if necessary.

State Of The Art Doily

State Of The Art Doily

Magic Crochet Magazine Issue No. 13

There once was a man and a woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They talked about everything. They kept no secrets from each other... except that the old woman had a shoebox in the top of her closet that she cautioned her husband never to open it or ask her about it.

For all these years he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would never recover. In trying to sort out their affairs the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed it was the time that he should know what was in the box.

When he opened it, he found 2 beautifully crocheted doilies and a stack of money totaling over $25,000. He asked her about the unusual contents.

"When we were married," she said, " my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily."

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with joy and happiness.

"Sweetheart," he said... "that explains the doilies, but what about all this money? Where did it all come from?"

Oh," she said, " that's the money I made from selling the doilies."

-Unknown.

Have you ever feel the excitement of starting a project and then half-way done you've lost your interest to finish it?! Well, I do with this afghan. I started this last February 2013! The first time I set aside this is when I ran out of yarns. But when I got the materials again for this afghan I just have too many WIP projects and set aside this again until I just totally forgot about this and used the yarns for other projects! LOL!
