I have found that if I keep my upper arm close against my upper body that I can crochet with this shoulder injury, so i have embarked a huge upcyling project.
I think I have it sorted. One large suitcase and a large crate full of bits of wool from finished and possibly some not started projects from the last almost 50 years. 6 balls of black are now 2 hexagons, joined and sleeves completed. I'm trying to create a steam punk inspired coat. Just working out a template for lapels. Will have corset style lacing in the back, a rainbow skirt of all the part balls of leftover wool, flat across the bottom at the back and tapering up shorter in the front. Haven't decided on a collar or hood to finish it. Skirt will be connected to the top with a purple band. I'll love it or hate it when it is finished.
