PDA

I love the ability to carry my Sweater Wizard pattern on my PDA. I own two PDAs, one with the Windows OS and the other Palm OS.

I started with the Windows based system because it was so easy to transfer my Word files, but since buying the Palm based system, I have to admit that I am a convert. The user interface is so much simpler.

On the Windows based system, I simply export my pattern to Word and transfer to the PDA.

On the Palm based system, I use the .rtf option. I can send the Word doc to Documents to Go, but it is so much simpler using the .rtf file. I can edit any changes I make while doing the actual knitting of the garment. I then send it back to my computer and save. I export the schematics separately and size them to look best on the Palm based PDA and send them to the photos section.

Whichever system I use, I no longer am searching for my paper pattern. I just love the convenience of it all.
