Years have passed, and I am still paying the price for dropping out of Color Theory class at the Art Center College of Design. Sometimes I can pick out the right colors for a project by sight at my LYS (see mittens, below). Other times, I wonder what was I smokin'? I have grown to like the color of my kitchen, although it is not the desired semolina color, but more like Gulden's Mustard! Fortunately, I find inspiration for knitting and art everywhere, even in a bottle of mustard. That said I will now be redecorating the kitchen in a vibrant Frida Kahlo style--vivid fuschias, blues, reds. By the time autumn is in full swing my tiny kitchen will still be sunny and bright. Besides, a Tuscany-styled kitchen, with its warm, soothing colors, would only make me want to eat more pasta.
