As would blogging - which is why I haven't done so in a long while. Two queen sized blankets are a lot of knitting.

I personally hated iMapMyRun and the website is FULL of ads. I've got Flycast so I can indulge in streaming NPR from Boston when I work my overnights and Stitcher to pull audio podcasts. Flycast is love though. Paid versions you can even record to listen later. I have Kindle for Blackberry - and while my screen is MUCH smaller than an iPhone, it works well. I'd prefer a bigger screen to lessen eyestrain though. Twitter, of course, and Foursquare (though if that quit working I'd not miss it). I absolutely detest the Facebook application. Google Maps is a must have, along with Telenav since having a pocket GPS is brilliant when I'm scouting out new places. I also have Call Blocker since I got sick of telemarketers who didn't abide by the no-call list. I use RoadRunner GPS for Blackberry, though I’ve fallen hard off the C25K bandwagon.

Also, I adore crochet for the quickness of it. And the ability to do things that you simply cannot in knitting. But the Hex blanket you were trying... I tried something similar once. Only once. Never finished. Stupid little squares. Sewing things together is not so fun. I gave up on that stuff, so I don't blame you at all for that!

Maybe she should add "Where x means that size does not require you to do anything." or similar. Don't give your reader a chance to be confused - motto of technical writing.

I believe it means if you're working the last size listed, you ptog. If you're knitting the other sizes (the x's) you do nothing. What a pretty sweater! Good luck. :) Have you figured out what x[x,x,ptog] means? I believe it means if you’re working the last size listed, you ptog. If you’re knitting the other sizes (the x’s) you do nothing.
