until I can crochet for more then minutes at a time

I am spending a lot of time with my spinning wheel.  Crocheting uses too many muscles that connect to my shoulder so I start to hurt very quickly when I am doing it.  Spinning does not hurt.  I have lots of fiber so this is not a problem.  The problem is when I need to start using fleeces that need cleaning.  I hope I am healed by then.  It is like wrangling a quilt.

I am currently spinning this alpaca silk roving.  I picked it up the last time were went to the mountain, which right now is a blessing.  I have not even tried to turn my carder.  Guess which shoulder I usually use with that tool.  My Beloved keeps telling me to rest the shoulder.  I will keep spinning.  I hope I am going to have enough yarn to crochet an old Interweave Knits pattern, a Chanel type jacket.  If not, I will make hats and hand warmers.  

When I am done with this roving, I am going to spin the Blue Face Leicester roving I dyed pink.  It will be sent to its home in Montana then.  Like I said, I can just keep spinning.
