Well, it is that time of year... Why, I ask, do your annual house-cleaning ritual in Spring when it's already getting too warm for lugging furniture and upholstery around, when you can do it in Autumn, and then you don't mind so much working up a sweat and you keep warm in the cooling days into the bargain? Okay, so I've posed that as rather a rhetorical question...
I have to concede that my main reason for my cleaning stint has been to find a new place for my ever-growing stash, which was enhanced by this little lot yesterday:

Angels and Elephants! wheeeeeeeee
I know you'll be shocked to see that I have grabbed a few more skeins from the A & E dye-pots in Cornwall. Man. I really MUST MUST MUST stay away from eBay until I can actually afford such beauty, instead of mortgaging my soul to the devil for the same ends...
Here we have 'Plum Crumble' (purple, pink and olive), 'Raspberry Ripple' (pink, purple and blue), 'Candy Floss' (pink, lavender, turquoise and blue) and at the back 'Pentillie' (pale pink, lavender and green).
Aha! But I forget! Sock yarn doesn't count as stash, does it? Heh!
Gratuitous yarn shots
So to continue the Autumn cleaning angle, I am thinking about changing the layout of this blog and here, my friends, is where YOU come in!
You may have noticed the addition of :: GASP :: a poll at the top... If you have the inclination I'd love you to help me decide what to do... But before I say anything, I'm intending to keep the 3 columns, as that is one thing I do rather like!
Option 1 (to be known as Why change? It's bloody marvellous as it is!)
is to keep it as it is - colours and layout.
Option 2 (to be known as 'I'd like to be able to read this wonderful blog properly')
is to keep the same format but go with lighter colours.

Option 3 (to be known as 'Shoogle it aboot a bit - why not?')
is to keep the same colours but arrange the columns starting from the left as BLOG POSTS, then 2 thinner columns

Option 4 (to be know as 'A change is as good as a rest')
is to change to lighter colours and arrange the columns from the left as BLOG POSTS, then 2 thinner ones.
(Lighter colours will be versions of the ones already on the blog. Purples, greens and greys...)
I seriously can't make up my mind! After polling, (presumptuous? Me?) and if you have the time and inclination, please feel free to post any comments about little tweaks that you think this page needs or, you know... anything - even just a hello!! I'm open to all hints, tricks and categorical slap-downs!
Well, almost!

That said, I am of the firm and unwavering belief that one's blog is one's own to with as one wishes. And it's the content that keeps me coming back.
Some days I wish I had a better system for my yarn. Most is jammed downstairs in the cedar closet - out of sight. If I want to stare at it, I have to treck downstairs or pull up my Ravelry page.
Good Luck!
