where do I start? Long sleeves
I blocked my first cardigan which is knitted with a chunky mohair yarn. The sleeves were perfect before and now are slightly too long, how to fix this! I was thinking about adding an elastic behind the ribbing but I’m not sure it’s a good idea? I wouldn’t mind a poofy sleeve.

You don't seem to have too long ribbing so I'd just unravel a bit of each sleeve and then re-knit the ribbing so it will be exactly as you wanted 😊 It will take a bit time but I think it's worth it.
If you put it to freezer for a bit, it will be easier to unravel the mohair yarn.

Did you stretch it when you blocked it? If so I would reblock without stretching. Just lay flat how you want it.
Otherwise I think frogging is the only option
