seperating body and sleeves already. record time for my standards!

Finished!!!
I knitted the body very quickly and although I loved the yarn combination (color, softness) I found it hard to finish the hem with a good looking 1x1 rib. After that probably got a little disappointed so it took two months to finish the sleeves. I tried finishing the cuffs with half-twisted rib, which looks much better in this yarn. Now I have to wait until blocking is done and buttons are placed!
