For the knitter who has everything, but can't keep track of it all! Are you trying to keep track of your needle stash, current projects, and measurements for friends and family using a mix of the memo pad, address book, and to do list? Are you tired of trying to juggle conversions and yardage estimates in your head or on scraps of paper? There is now an easier way. KnitAble is the first, fully functional application for the Palm OS platform designed especially for knitters. Now available with a Windows desktop version that keeps in sync with your PalmOS PDA. You can use either one by itself or use both and have them synchronize with one another!

What Can KnitAble Do and How Do I Use It? KnitAble is designed for you to keep track of your personal knitting inventory. Thus, it does not have any built in data other than common abbreviations and terms. Enter your information and take it with you on shopping trips so you never have to try and remember what you already have again. When you first start KnitAble, you will see the "Home" page.
All of your databases are on the "Inventory" tab and all of
the calculators and application information can be found on the "Calcs/Info"
tab. Simply tap the tab's title to switch back and forth between the two.
Tapping an icon or title will take you to that section's main page. To

What Do I Need to Use KnitAble? You need a PDA running PalmOS version 3.0 or above and about 150K of space available for the application, plus some additional space for your data (another 100K will be enough for most knitters). PDAs that have PalmOS 3.0 or above include all devices made by Palm since the Palm III (1998), all devices from Handspring (including the Treo models), all devices from Sony, all of the Kyocera PalmOS Smart Phones, the TRG Pro, the Handera, all of the IBM Workpad series, the PalmOS based Symbol devices, and the PalmOS based Samsung phones. If you need a PDA or want to upgrade, we have a list of devices that we recommend. Is There a Way to Enter My Information From the Desktop? Yes! There is now a version of KnitAble for the Windows Desktop. You can use either one by itself or use both and have them synchronize with one another! To install KnitAble only on your PDA, follow these instructions:
To install KnitAble Desk on your Windows desktop and/or PDA, follow these instructions:
Please Note: If your data does not synchronize with the desktop, it may be that you need to restart the HotSync manager manually. You can do this by clicking on the the HotSync icon in the system tray (it is the red and blue arrows that form a circle) and clicking "Exit". You can then run HotSync manager again by running it from the Palm Desktop menu. You can also reset it by restarting Windows. The unregistered version is limited only to a specific number of uses (you will not be able to use it beyond 50 uses without entering a registration key). A periodic message will appear to remind you to register. A license must be purchased by using our Buy Now feature within your first 50 uses. To register the application, choose About from the menu and click the Register button. You will need to provide either the Palm User Name as it appears on this screen or the series of letters and numbers separated by colons for registration. If you provide this information at the time of purchase, an unlock key will be emailed to you. To view a copy of the license (also included in the download file), visit our License Page or you can send an email to brad@HandAble.com for more information. Future versions of the application may require an upgrade fee. A cd version is also available at KnittingFairy.com. Future versions may require an upgrade fee. If your purchase was within 6 months of an upgrade that requires a fee, please contact us. To upgrade your version at any time, simply download the newest file and install the same way you first installed the application. Do not delete the application from your desktop first or you could destroy your data! Abbreviations and Terms Supplement KnitAble Version 2.5 and above has the Abbreviations and Terms Supplement built in. It can be accessed from the "Calcs/Info" page of the Home screen of KnitAble by touching the "Add Terms" button. If you want, you can still download the KnitAble Supplement, but we recommend you simply upgrade to a current version instead (updates are free). The supplement will add common abbreviations and terms to your Abbreviations and Terms database without destroying any you may already have. It is another application that is installed on your device and can be deleted after you have run it once. Version 1.1 or above of KnitAble is required for the supplement. v3.11 - 11/28/2003
