Four of the swatches I'm going to need to submit are supposed to be done with the same yarn and same size needles, basically as a set - and it struck me that these four swatches would be a pretty good diagnostic.

Does any of the issues go away with blocking?

Not really - all these swatches have been blocked. I didn't stretch the ribbing out at all, which might have helped the 1x1 a little, but the standard for the swatches is that the ribbing should be relaxed.

If you're knitting with wool, though, you really can block stockinette stitch to stop curling.
