Tuesday Project Roundup: No Sleeves Allowed

I’ve joined a gym (more on that Thursday) and the itty-bitty baby muscles in my arms are getting ever-so-slightly bigger! In my head, of course, I look like a young Arnold. So clearly I needed to make something sleeveless to show off theseĀ guns:

This is another True Bias pattern, the Nikko top. It’s a beautiful pattern with perfect proportions on the mock neck and just the right amount of cutaway on the arms (to make your shoulders look bigger, bro). I made it up in some light rayon rib knit from Stonemountain and it’s lovely to wear–cool and soft.

I already have more fabric coming for another one and as soon as I can find some nice black rib knit I’m going to make the dress version–all sleeveless, naturally.

July

If it’s July, it’s time for the obligatory shot of the patio pots (orange flowers only, of course).
