if you go to this page on Benjamin Moore’s website, you will see the color I am painting my walls.  It is called Concord Ivory and is a very soft yellow.  It is in the section called split complement.

I am in the grip of kitchen painting.  It feels like the whole house is upside down now that the kitchen is in upheaval.  There has been a great deal of spackling and sanding (the dust! it’s making me grumpy).  More of the same on tap for today, but the good news is that I should also be getting to start the primer coat on the ceiling.  The bad news is that the ceiling – which is elevated and hard to reach – is going to need a primer coat as well as two coats of paint!  However, Angie is coming over to help.  In fact, Angie is a master painter and I end up being the help person as she takes over the job. 

tip for the day:  It is often a very good thing to let one’s mother-in-law take over. 

a small bit of knitting news:  I frigged up on the bottom border row of my poncho – specifically working the two increase rows while maintaining a K2P2 pattern.  Shall I rip the whole row, or do I just get out a crochet hook and change things around as I go?
