So no photos today.
I'm still in a bit of a knitting funk (but can happily play several hours of Oblivion a day.)
I did cast on a new project yesterday that I'm pretty happy with (and I did get a photo of it... but as I said, I need to reboot for my computer to read the memory card. Eh. I'll do it later).
I started Portland (Ravelry link, registration required) by Lisa Lloyd for Matt in some wonderful stash yarn: Jo Sharp's Silkroad Aran. This is very different feeling than the tweed version of this yarn and I'm happy with the stitch definiton. The color (called Ricepaper) really looks nice with the cables.
The only issue is that the silk/cashmere content makes the yarn a little less flexible, so I've got to be more careful with that dreaded purl after the cable thing. Matt's going to really like the softness and drape of this yarn... and the non-color will look fab on him.
Meanwhile... I think I'll play Oblivion for a few hours before I work on it today.
