Hello advanced knitters! I have a mess of black Elann worsted weight alpaca that I want to knit up into a short-sleeved jacket -- and I have a list of some concrete details I like, but I'm hunting for some examples of garments to inspire me. So I bring you guys some of my ideas and wonder if someone has noticed something similar. Possible features: boxy shape with a belt, all-over texture -- perhaps a subtle cable?, shawl collar, garter edges, top-of-thigh length, curved and possibly overlapping fronts. Maybe dolman sleeves? It doesn't have to be a pattern -- a ready-made garment is fine. Has anybody seen anything similar? Or something with one or more of those features? Any ideas welcome.
(My first stop was the Anthropologie website and found many lovely sweaters for inspiration, but nothing quite like what I want for this project.)
Thanks, knitters! And apologies if this is too vague and "tell me what I want" ish.
