Handy Hint of the Day

If you are knitting the Vogue Map of the World afghan, you probably had enough sense to enlarge the charts before you started. I got through about 1/8th of it with a magnifying ruler and decided that continuing in that way was madness.

I displayed the pattern in Adobe Reader at 200%. I displayed the first section of the first chart. When my printer software allowed me to choose a Print Range, I selected Current View. I printed that section, then repeated with all of the other sections.

ETA: The englarged charts work great. I also put stitch markers in my work at the same places as the gridlines appear on the chart. I highly recommend doing that, too.
