9 more rows of ribbing for the cuff & the knitting will be complete!! Then to sew in the ends and block it. Happy Days!! 😄

The first sleeve in progress. I've knitted the small size as it matched my bust measurements. I'll be interested to see how blocking works on the sleeves. Right now it is a snug fit! 🤣

So I've ended up using the traditional bind off method after fluffing about with trying other cast off methods. It will look even better after blocking. Now to finish casting off the bottom ribbing and on to the sleeves!! 😆
