I always have a continuous granny square blanket on the go for the evenings when I don’t want to think or count stitches. Being continous I don't even have to worry about joining squares together.
I'm currently working on one in the Dockers colours as a present for a friend.
If I had one tip for a continous granny blanket it is to turn your work after each row. It goes a bit wonky if you don't.
Arn't the colours in in the granny blanket in the main pic beautiful? I chose the colours for this one after a trip to Cape Leveque north of Broome.
