feverish friday

today finds me feeling a little overheated. i know it's odd, what with the mercury refusing to go above 15 degrees the last few days, so i've boiled (!) it down to one of two things:
1. could it be that the awful flu that's been laying low all the rest of the family has got me at last?
2. could it be the use of superhuman strength needed to crochet this?

well i have to say i prefer the second option, and have put my feverish ways into action to finish this popcorn stitch crochet cover for a 'dumpty' i stole from Mum. it's crocheted in Moda Vera "Beetle" used double throughout with a 7mm hook, making it very weighty but also lovely and crunchy! thanks go to the lovely dottie angel for inspiration and instructions on the making of this cover.

it seems i have covered my laptop with fluff while feverishly crocheting and trawling blogs at the same time...
