My 2012 North Carolina State Fair project hasn’t exactly stalled, but it isn’t coming together at the speed of my imagination, and today I found I needed to search for some crochet mojo.

I have begun the process of washing the completed squares (eighteen washed, dried, and ready for assembly, fifty-four — some of which have yet to be made — to go, along with 22 larger triangles and four small corner triangles in need of the same treatment), and today, after errands were run, I spent most of my crochet time making these three center squares (and weaving in the ends as I went):

and completing most of the work on this single, mutli-color motif:

With only 28 full working days between me and my deadline, and with tomorrow completely errand-free and Wednesday practically errand-free, I need to make sure that I use this stretch of time as wisely as possible.

To that end, I will keep errands to an absolute minimum, and start my crochet day by finishing up the many partially completed multi-color motifs in the hope that finishing them helps me to find the crochet mojo I so desperately seek.
