Finite!

I completely forgot to post the finished coat...doh! Here it is! The color is more accurate in the pic in the earlier post about this, though. I have to say I even amazed myself with this one....seriously. The body was knitted bottom up per Tuulia's "Louhi" pattern, except I knitted it as an A-line coat (I knew it would look shaped anyway), only doing about 10 (I may be wrong on that number) decrease rows total. I also knitted each sleeve in the round, and then joined them to the body. I got really lucky with the raglan decreases here, though, as none of this was well planned at ALL, but it turned out PERFECT in the end. I believe I decrease the sleeves every RS row, and decreased in the body every other RS row. The only seaming on this was the 3-needle bind off for the top of the hood and the cuff cables - absolutely no other seaming involved, which was AWESOME! So, apart from my lumpy self, this coat is probably the most amazing thing I've ever knit (so far, at least). ;)
