You make that coat look spectacular! I hope rest of your clan stays healthy and that you get some knitting done while you have boys on the couch.

Love the coat! I like your version without the asymmetrical front even better than the version in Vogue! Hope your boys are better soon.

The coat is more than darlin'! I wish I could knit as well as you! sigh.....I want SO much to graduate from scarves and hats to some REAL stuff. sweaters. gloves....eeeek. I need a knitting mentor. LOL.

Oh Leslie, it's so wonderful and the colour is to die for. I was so excited to see these pictures after the little tease the other day.

Really hoping that the sickness passes quickly and that the rest of you manage to stay clear of it.

That is amazing! I love the color, perfect for fall.

I also just noticed the shoes in your banner. I'm wearing the same ones today. :)

Hope the boys get better soon and that your daughter doesn't succumb to the sickness too. Yech.

Looks really great and so much better than the version in VK

Wowza - I love it! I need it:) I hope your boys get better - I am laying on the couch myself today - seems to be going around - groan!

Wow, that looks beautiful! The header is great, too (did you knit the sweater, and what pattern is it?).

Sorry to hear about your kiddos. Hopefully it'll clear up soon. =)

ohh!nice coat! And, you have the long legs for it!!!

i can't believe how fast you finished that! it's beautiful

The ribbing in the back....

That is just gorgeous! You sure make me wish I could knit!

OMG - Amazing. What a wonderful knit.

So lovely. It looks warm, and perfect for this time of year. Your knitting is truly amazing

The coat is gorgeous - sorry the boys are sick.

The coat is wonderful. It turned out so great. I like your version much better! I'm sure you'll get lots of wear and plenty of compliments on it! Hope your boys get better soon.

What a great coat! I love the style and the color. You look fantastic in it, by the way.

What a wonderful coat. It looks like one you wear quite a bit this fall.

Hope the boys are both off the couch soon!

It's so pretty.

I forget about the rules of photography...even if I haven't had a glass of wine.

I love the wine barrel.

I hope your boys feel better soon and that you make it out of the quarantine unscathed.

OMG, nooooooooo! Another sick one?! This is really going to affect the knitting time! Hope he's better soon!

Oh, and yes, the coat is spectacular!

Lovely!!

Hope your boys are feeling better soon.

Oh, no! I hope Libby stays immune. That sweater is beautiful. You truly are a master knitter.

Fantastic piece of work, love the colour too.

Your coat looks fantastic, great colour choice and I agree about the ribbing too, perfect.
Loving your new header too!

Love the coat!
Give those kiddos lots of extra TLC- hoping things pass quickly and relatively uneventfully for you all!! I wouldn't wish my last week on any Mother...

It looks beautiful and I can imagine wearing it a lot myself. Good to hear it was a fast knit! Great automn color! Congratulations!

That looks amazing on you Leslie :-) I love the color, and the 'longness' of it!

i hope that your boys get better quickly! its not fun being sick :(
the coat is so very lovely, the red color is pretty! perfect for fall.
wishing you a wonderful week,
kendall

Oh that neckline! LOVE IT! such a beautiful sweater coat!
Here's some get well wishes for the boys!

Wow, that is a long coat, does it take days to finish, lots of st st and mindless knitting !

dont worry, great photos. tks.

Love everything about it! Hope your boys get well soon!

I love the coat. You're a great knitter. Your garments are always stylish and fit well. I hope for a speedy recovery at your house.

so pretty Leslie! you are so talented...I am stitching my way through your toasty pattern, its my first try with double pointed needles.

Leslie,
The ribbing in the back is wonderful! I made Norah Gaughan's Annikki which is similar and have been wearing a ton!
Hope your boys are feeling better fast!

Stunning!!

That is just beautiful. I wish my knitting looked that good. I wish I was a quick as you, too. But that is another story.

This really turned out great! I was thinking, since 15 balls is a heck of a lot of yarn, this would still look great shortened about 10 in. or so. It would ruin the regal effect, but still it would be a great coat! Love the circular side and the long ribs on the sleeves!

Ok, what's next since you will be sitting at home with sick ones for a while!?

Oh that is beautiful! You are so talented :-)

Hope the illness passes quickly.

awesome!

the coat is amazing, i love the color! it must look great with your blonde hair! :)
hope the sick boys are off the couch and feeling better!

fabulous sweater coat.
sorry 'bout the nasty flu that has hit your house - it's out here on the Pac NW as well. blech.

Wow, your sweater coat turned out beautiful. I love, love, love the color. My favorite color is brown, but every once in a while a shock of color is just what we all need. And this red is just shockingly wonderful! Looks like this is going to be one long flu season. Keep well.

GREAT coat. Just great. I love that ribbing in the back, and it looks fabulous on you!! I think the photos look nice, too!

stunning! oh so stunning!

That coat is lovely, it wouldn't suit me as I am short but looks great on you. I hope the little ones get better soon.

LOVE it!! Love the color you chose also! Very beautiful, glad you are getting a lot of use out of it.

oh, i think the photos came out lovely! I love this one. i hope the boys are feeling better soon!

I love it!

It's gorgeous!! And the yarn you used is so yummy I can imagine how soft this feels in person.

What a beautiful coat! I love the ribbing on the back and the pattern detail coming up the sides. It looks great on (and the pictures, full sun or not, are still lovely!). Great job!

Love your new banner, the coat is up to your normal standards (i.e. amazing) and I certainly hope the tiny Friendster feels better:)

LOVE. IT.
My favorite part is the ribbing on the waistline. Good pick...(I definitely wouldn't have picked that one from the Vogue picture!)

absolutely love it, all the details etc! i think photos and wine tasting might not go together, but the pictures look way better than you think! i want one!

I *love* the back of the coat!!! Great job. Hope your kids feel better soon. I had one home on Monday -- it definitely throws a wrench in a mom's day!

it is so beautiful, leslie!

hope both boys are feeling better.

gorgeous!! love this coat, it looks fantastic!

Love it!

Love the coat it is beautiful and it fit you very well.

This is by far the most beautiful hand knitted garment I've seen!!!! It looks amazing on you. I'm sure you'll get alot of people asking where you got it, and you can proudly tell them "I made it!"

It looks gorgeous!

I actually really like how the photos turned out! They are very natural - feels like we're out for an autumn stroll in an apple orchard, drinking apple cider and discussing world politics and whatnot. And you look fantastic in that long coat. :D

This is a fabulous sweater! It would take me years to knit something so wonderful. Hope your family is on the mend soon!

you have inspired me once again!
i love the colour, it looks so great on you.
love your new header picture too

FAB.U.LOUS!!! I rotate between so many passions.....scrapbooking, knitting, making jewelry....I can only do a little bit of knitting at football practice...but I may have to pick up that Vogue and get crackin'.....it would be a perfect addition to any wardrobe!! Thanks for sharing :)

The coat looks fabulous on you. I love the back!

Love the coat, Les! Love the color also. Sorry the boys are sick.

This jacket looks great on you!!

Gorgeous! I love it. I think I need one myself!

That is a stunning coat. Made to fit you like a dream!

Hi! I found your blog from a blogger friends.

That sweater coat is AMAZING! And you knitted it?! I am SO impressed. I so wish I could knit that well. I have a cute vest I started last winter (stopped because I got stuck) and am determined to finish it this winter.

You have inspired me to start knitting again, thanks! : )

Completely understand what your stance on this matter. Though I might disagree on a number of the finer details, I think you probably did an awesome job explaining it. Sure beats having to analysis it on my own. Thanks. Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good supply like this.

There are definitely a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That may be a great point to deliver up. I supply the ideas above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you deliver up where an important thing can be working in trustworthy good faith.

Daniel, yea I can see what you did there. I actually liked that part, however hehe I'm not that harsh like my dad with these things. He all the time tells me loopy tales again within the day and calls me a loser. I suppose it is time I move out of my dad and mom' basement LOL. Aaanyways, what about you? what does your dad suppose xD" Anyway, in my language, there aren't much good source like this.

Daniel, yea I can see bp claims process what you did there. I bp claims process actually favored that half, but bp claims process hehe I am not that harsh like my dad with these things.
