Well, I pretty much gave away the point of this post in the title 🙂 My Ixchel body is done, and I am knitting away on the first sleeve. There are a lot of rows to go on the sleeve, but it is flying along because there are so many fewer stitches than for the body! So I feel like these last two bits will go along pretty quickly.
One difficulty I have noticed – the hem has a tendency to roll. The bottom does have ribbing, but it is k3p1, which doesn’t seem to be enough to keep it stable. Well, I have some time to think about how to handle that.
Hope your projects – crafty or otherwise – are going along great!

Yay for sleeve knitting!! That means you are closer to done. Would it help to make a deeper ribbing?

It probably would. And the pattern did call for deeper ribbing, but I got impatient. I can pretty easily go back after I do the sleeves, unpick the bind off, and do another inch or so. I don’t want to, but I can 😉
