Last night I bound off the body of my handspun James pullover! I took a minute to weave in the ends (good knitter!) and then picked up stitches to start the right sleeve. Obviously there has been no blocking yet, either wet blocking or steaming, but that can happen later. I'm pretty sure the lower hem will lie down nicely once it's blocked, even though it is just a narrow rib.
You can see a bit of striping in this yarn because the gray fiber was handdyed. I haven't bothered alternating the skeins as I knit and I actually really like the subtle striping I got in the body. This kind of thing is part of what I love about handspun yarn.
