Yesterday we had the first eggs from our new hens.  This one was from Emma, one of the Bluebells, and it is tiny compared to the monsters which Esmarelda gives us:



Rona's egg weighs 37g.  Esmarelda's .... 87g!  And the knitpro needle tip is there to give you context with regards size.  We were ridiculously excited, especially when Emma laid a second egg this morning - this one was slightly bigger but still tiny.  So for lunch today we had the tiniest poached eggs I've ever had before.

On to shop news - the Olympics are behind us now, and if you are a member of the Ripples Crafts Ravelry Group you'll know that during the Olympics I had a couple of surprise special offers in the shop - usually when the UK won a gold medal.  But now the Olympics are over I thought I'd have a final wee Olympic treat.  From now until midnight UK time on Friday 17th August there is 10% discount on Na Dannsairean DK, Na Dannsairean Aran, and the pure silk laceweight and 4ply.  Just enter the code "allover" when you check out and the discount will be applied automatically.  You will only receive a discount for buying these four yarns.

I have also reopened 2 of the yarn clubs - both sock yarn clubs.  You can find the details here.
