Finally winded the remaining yarn hanks into balls. If I don’t do all of them now, I will never finish this piece.
Started on the left arm.
I will finish the sleeves and then return to the body later.

Finished the left sleeve xD
The sleeve came out to an awkward length but I know it will block out longer.

Finally I finished the body today.
Used needle US 2 (2.75mm) to knit the hem ribbing.

Instead of italian bind off, I used Jenny stretchy bind off at the hem because my italian bind off is kind of tight and the body of this cardigan hugs quite nicely around my hips. I’m not sure if my Italian bind off would be stretchy enough.

Used US 2 (2.75mm) to pick up sts for the right button band.
Then switched to US 5 (3.75mm) to purl back and do the i-cord finish. My i-cord knitting is VERY tight.

Finished the right sleeve.
Sew 8 buttons on. I’m very happy with this knit.

It’s going straight in the bath. Pictures to follow.
