Tale of my Aran Coat

I have bought some yarn (100% wool), and wanted to make my first Aran coat. I wasn't in the mood of designing . Just wanted to sit, and make a big work of knitting without thinking. Is it what happened???!!!!! No lololol . I have chosen  a sweater from (Vogue Magazine ), and told myself, just sit and , adapt this pattern from being a sweater to be a coat. What happened is completely different, I have changed every detail in that pattern from length, width, stitches, collar, final touch so I am starting my work .
First stage:

Close look at the stitches
