This one came up, and is only 45 minutes from my home. I had to go out an run errands this morning, so I bid $110 on it, then went out, fully expecting to be outbid.<br \/>\nI won it.<br \/>\nI have nowhere in my house to put it. I&#8217;m not quite sure yet if I&#8217;m sorry I won it. When will I ever get time to spin??? Anyway, we&#8217;re going to pick it up tomorrow morning. I think it&#8217;s an older style Ashford Elizabeth. It says it&#8217;s an &#8220;Elizabeth&#8221; style, and it looks similar to an Ashford Elizabeth.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"spinning wheel.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/spinning wheel.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nAnyway, for now it has to go into the garage, purely because there is nowhere in the house to fit it.<br \/>\nIn other news, I finished my Mondo Cable and it is blocking as I type. And then I realised that I hadn&#8217;t shown my Neckdown Pullover. Here she is, all done \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"neckdowndone.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/neckdowndone.jpg\" width=\"354\" height=\"380\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nI hate having my picture taken, btw.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m pretty happy with the finished sweater. The pattern was Knitting Pure and Simple&#8217;s &#8220;Neckdown Pullover&#8221;. I used Plymouth Cottrica from Elann. I wan&#8217;t too impressed with the yarn in the skein, but it knitted up quite nicely. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nChristmas presents are wrapped, now we just have to pack our bags for our trip. I have a tiny car, a Mazda 121 bubble. We have to fit 3 of us, luggage for a week, and christmas presents in. Lucky Em doesn&#8217;t take up much room in the back seat \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nAnd have you seen the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\">Google<\/a> holiday logo today?
