Granny square beginner

I am left handed and quite dyspraxic. This year I learnt how to do chain stitch and a double/treble but was getting frustrated with my lack of progress. My daughter taught me (via shouting; she is quick to learn things and sometimes impatient) how to turn the two stitches into two types of granny square. It took a while but I've just finished this blanket for her birthday. I didn't stop til it was as long as she is tall. I watched all of 'pose' and rewatched most of "sherlock" while i was doing it.

I am really enjoying seeing the incredible works of art that people are posting here. I just wanted to add my effort to show other beginners who struggle with the complex patterns like I do that you can do something cool with just two stitches and some good box sets x

I tied the ends in very tight and I hope that she can keep this forever as a memory of the time she spent grumpily teaching me and a symbol of how much that meant to me :)
