I just did a search on aran sweater patterns and I came across this cool site with links to different clans and their family patterns. I find the idea that there might be a pattern for my clan a little suspect (wouldn't you think that each knitter would want to make their own design?), but heck at least there is a really broad range of aran sweater pattern ideas.
My father, being of Irish ancestry and more than a little nostalgic would probably think it cool that I did a so-called clan pattern.
Here's another Aran link that describes more of this history of the sweater and debunks some of the hype -- though they are nice looking sweaters.
