Here’s mine. A blanket for Teen 2 to take to uni. Once I’ve completed the darker turquoise I’m going back through the colours to grey.

Super, Meglet :)

That's a great start, Pix, and once you're on to the stocking stitch "body" you'll be able to read your knitting a lot more easily. A fair few people seem to have struggled to keep the garter stitch edge correct, but it's just count, count, count, and/or use stitch markers.

Lovely, neat work, people.

Wish I was good with colours, but I'm not!

Spent the afternoon unpicking the ribbons from my race medal collection to use as sashing for my T-shirt quilt. Lots of great memories going through 55 medals which spookily go from 21 May 2006 to 21 May 2017

Ugh, I hate it when that happens. I managed to increase my stitch count on what I'm currently working on in its early stage.

FO to declare (OK, so I have two ends to darn in ) - it's a present for someone with very blue eyes.

A few stitches were occasionally added and substraced as I made some mistakes in the short rows, but it seems to have worked out.
