SHEs Organized

How do you crochet if your shoulders are bothering you? Just make sure you ice first, then make sure your elbows are supported by arms on chairs, and don't work over 20-30 minutes? Those are the only ideas I can come up with, based on the experiences of others. Do my ideas sound good?

I did a few rows of crochet on the grey project I have going.

I'm currently crocheting on some kitchen mats. I'd measured the sizes months ago, but lost the paper, so DH and I re-measured last night, to his specifications. I have 4 mats to do.

I got a few rows worked on the crocheting project I have going thinking it might be a great tote.

I finished 1 mat for the kitchen last night.

I started another mat today, but with all the decluttering commotion and doing laundry, etc... I haven't gotten much done on it. It'll be great pick-up work, while the grandsons are visiting, while I chat with them. Once the kitchen mats are done, I'll try to see if there is enough yarn leftover to make myself a mitered hanging dishtowel for my hook to the left of the country corner sink. DH uses the right side hook for the dishtowel, which dries pans, etc...

After the mats are done, I'd sure love to do more on baby dgd's Christmas afghan in a Granny square of pink, lavender, and white. Also,I have so many of those colors, in 1-Lb. skeins, I'm thinking about making myself a Granny lap robe to match dgd's afghan. So we'll be twins, even though we're several miles apart.
