The difficulty for me with art lately may be in the starting, but with fiber projects the challenge has been in the finishing.  Although I have several knitting projects to finish up, I couldn't resist starting to spin this lovely November club batt from Enchanted Knoll Farm.  Josette wrote that when she saw this painting in real life she was fascinated to find that a painting that seemed so grey in the prints was so full of colors.    She set out to reproduce the colors in a batt.

This batt is merino tencel with some sparkle, and a delight to spin.  It is destined to be a lace shawl, my favorite thing to knit.
