Ribbed knits and a walking foot!

So I haven't been doing much sewing lately, but I did finally finish up the mock-henley version of Jalie 2805. A really great pattern! I used a ribbed knit I got from my great aunt. It's a pretty powder blue, but sewing it was a pain!...at first.
After cutting it out, sewing up the first seam was a wavy mess. But as luck would have it, my new Brother machine came with a walking foot. Well, I've never used a walking foot, it's a pretty bulky odd looking thing, but wow, it made all the difference in the world! I sewed this entire top with the walking foot, except for the sleeve hems which are hand finished.

Well, it isn't the fanciest thing I've made, for certain, but it is really comfy, and I think looks pretty RTW. I'm happy with it. :D
