Jules,
All your conrtol flies posted look good. They will all do the job...
Now it's time for the nymps & caddis in # 14 - 18.
Choose your pattern and tie 3 in each size, i.e. 3 x 14, 3 x 16, 3 x 18. all in the same pattern.
Then do a different pattern as above.
It's amazing how repititon helps to "iron out" the wobbles.
It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

I will give it a bash, spinning the dear hair was tricky on the DDD, especially trimming the bugger in such a way so as not to cut his tail off...
One material that I am really enjoying is the Raffia I use for the shellback, that stuff makes those czech nymphs look super realistic.
I have bought that book from DWAF about the aquatic insect life which I am using as a guide line for colour and shape etc...helps a lot

Man, 10 years on, and I wish I could tie a DDD like that!
Well done
