Thank you for your comment.<BR/>Yes, Laura, finding that balance is a process, partly because our bodies insist on changing and not usually for the better!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-22847005119606417812009-02-26T08:10:00.000-08:002009-02-26T08:10:00.000-08:00Hi Peg,We have to find the right balance for our b...Hi Peg,<BR/><BR/>We have to find the right balance for our bodies and equipment to work with the least amount of stress to our bodies - i.e. ergonomically.<BR/><BR/>Working with our hands higher than our shoulders is more tiring than keeping them working below our shoulder level. A rock climber explained this to me - when our hands are above our shoulders more than they are below, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood up to our hands. Fatigue sets in quicker and we tire more easily.<BR/><BR/>Finding the 'perfect' balance is a process. Glad to hear you are analysing your situation and finding an 'easier' (more ergonomic) way to accomplish what needs to be done. :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-15611511449605154882009-02-25T19:27:00.000-08:002009-02-25T19:27:00.000-08:00You keep me encouraged that someday I will be able...You keep me encouraged that someday I will be able to find the room to actually use my loom. I spent about 6months building the loom from scratch and do so want to use it. In the meantime I will continue to thoroughly enjoy your blog.BarbCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317514875776927996noreply@blogger.com
