Mystery skein

I went to my LYS to buy circular needles. I came out of the store with 2 skeins,3tubes of beads and bead needles. Went back in to get the circs I went to the store for in the first place!! I know I'm not the only one that's done this. I HOPE I'm not the only one that does this each & every single time I go to my LYS !!

So now I have these two new skeins. I HAVE to knit one ,at least,up NOW!! I choose the mystery skein. I decide a shawl. The simplest pattern I can think of. It's also got to be closed enough so I can wrap it around my head ala  Russian peasant woman style.
I got so into knitting it that I didn't stop until I finished it !! Well I stopped a few times but it was to " sleep"= nap for 2 hours knit for 6. Anyway I didn't take wip pics but I did take a finished shawl pic. Now to figure out how to add it to this page from my I phone. Did I mention my laptop will not turn on?! Yeah well. I'll get it fixed. Eventually.

I have an  shop -CustomKnitsByLana's shop on Etsy.
I have support spindles that are such a dream to spin with! I have Rosewood and I have a very 
Deep Red Blood Wood ,a cross between a Russian & Bulgarian.Beautiful! There's also
a dark chocolate Mahogany support spindles.FREE SHIPPING!! 
Please come check out my shop!! Also just added a couple handspun ,on these spindles,I kept a rose wood
! Hats are all hand knitted with positive energy flow. I'm a huge believer in it. 
Ok time to get to work on the pics! Wish me luck.
