A.P.C. Short Coat

Tuesday, September 8, 2009

I just started school today and though the weather was warm, fall is certainly here. Though I don't mind studying hard in a library cubicle, I absolutely hate to be cold (why are libraries so chilly?). Thus, I am totally obsessed with the APC Short Coat, it looks so cozy and warm, perfect for long study sessions and late walks back to the apartment. I would love to knit up a cozy cardigan just like this one to curl up in. I know this maybe a little ambitious a project for someone who just finished their first ever sweater, but a girl can dream, right?
If I do attempt it I will have to create my own pattern, but at least I'll know which wool to use.

  3. love this sweater, especially the fact that it's lined. i agree, libraries can be bone-chilling. that's why i no longer do my work there. but i bet you could make a similar sweater to cut the cold in half. your first is beautifully made!

  6. Carlene, thanks for the vote of confidence!
    Erica, I totally forgot to mention it is lined, that's the best part!
    Rita, Thanks for the offer, that sweater is very close! I have promised myself I will finally give pattern making a go on this on, but if it doesn't work out, I will let you know!
    Becky, oh I think cozy sweaters are essential for a college education.

  7. i just tried it on, and the lining is mid-weight and very soft. it made me think that all fall-winter sweaters should be lined, such a great idea for helping to block out the wind!

    i hope you can knit something similar. that price is closer to what i would expect for a coat!!
