And there is still a lot of threads to make invisible and an edge to crochet before the blanket is finished. Now I still have to combine the last 8 flowers and the 8 panels and after that is done, to crochet this third part of the blanket and the center part in one piece.

First I had to frog the dark blue lines I already crocheted on the sides of some panels, than I had to make new lines of light blue on the panels sides, that is were I stranded this afternoon. The third square row of panels and flowers is costing even more time. Well the first 9 squares and the second row of the blanket cost me two evenings and also some hours in the day to complete. Luckily I found out that my panels were broad enough, I didn’t have to make another row around the center squares, as I feared after finishing these panels. I has also used the light blue yarn for the next square part of the blanket, this includes the panels from part 1 and some flowers. So the center 9 squares are now divided by two green and two blue lines I used therefore an other similar color for the last line, light blue and frogged 1 line and made these also light blue. I had no feeling to frog the lines I already had crocheted, because it took much time to make them. I have poor eyesight, So I had to switch to another color, but after three lines I found out that the light green color I had chosen, was not sufficient for another line. First I discovered that the blue colored yarn meant to crochet the squares together was difficult to see. I am frustrated! Making the Lily Pond Blanket together is a whole bunch of work.
