Hi! You commented on my coat on the Yarn Harlot's blog. I'm at xanga.com/lostarts.
I'm sorry, LiveJournal won't let me comment unless I do it anonimously.
Yes, the coat has an open cable down the front with buttons/buttonholes in every other cable. The back has a Celtic knot St. John's cross, and the inset on each side of the skirt has a Celtic knot. It has pockets, and a heart on the left sleeve.
When the knitting was done, I kitchnered the top of the hood together and sewed down the pocket flaps. There was no other sewing. I don't like to sew.
The cross is a Viking symbol for happiness, and the buttons are four-leaf clovers.
There is no pattern. I just made it.
I do write knitting patterns, but they're intended to be knitted with any weight yarn, and this was worked out for a very specific weight.
I have been considering writing more traditional patterns like this one if I think there's enough demand for it.
I'll be putting up photos from the Harlot's visit in the next day or two, so stay tuned.
There are some photos of the coat in progress way back in my blog. I believe it was in January of 05?
