Well I've been talking so much about the Knitable software that I've got on my new Palm planner. I bought it at Handango. I realized that I could take a couple of photos of the screens to give you an idea of why I love it so much!
This is the Home Page with the Inventory Page view.
Details of the Moderne Baby Blanket project. I've also added the instructions to the Note section for reference.
You can record people's statistics. You can tell that a knitter was involved with this project because they even have space for foot and hand measurements!
My favorite part is actually the Calcs/Info View. Here is where the math, that is always a challenge for me, is "magically" done for me.
Things like buttonhole placement and increase/decrease calculations.
This is absolutely my favorite knitting gadget!!
I sure wish they had this software for my HTC Touch...

That is WAY cool...I may just have to get a Palm Pilot!

Me, too, I've carried it as a way to know how much yarn prospective projects required. That way, when I find a yarn store on my travels, I have a clue as to what yarn I could actually knit into a project. (I don't buy yarn without a project in mind, unless it's sock yarn.)

I guess it is handy that you can carry it around with you where-ever you go, but I would still rather use Ravelry. To each his own I guess.

Wow! Like Ravelry on the go! That just about makes me want to buy a palm. How handy it would be so that when I grab a project on the way out I would remember.
Hi Stacey,
It's scary how quickly I've become addicted to my Palm and the Knit Able program. Just this weekend, I was knitting on a pair of toe-up socks using Tina's pattern (Magic Loop Two at a Time Socks) and I made such good progress I got to the heel! Moment of panic! Then I remembered that I had put the bare bones of the pattern into my Knit Able program so I could continue!

What a neat software package! I keep notes of all my knitting projects on my Treo, but this blows it away.
