The double-sided textile and asymmetric cut of this neat little cowl mean that it can be worn in several ways. And, it makes an interesting collar when added to a plain jumper.
Knitted in luxurious, extra-fine merino: lovely and soft next to the skin.
Design
This collection came about from an ideas exchange with Scottish artist Karlyn Sutherland. Inspiration came from her installation in a byre at Latheronwheel in northern Scotland—where she mapped the fall of light. The Nielanell Byre collection is an interpretation of Karlyn's work in knit, making pieces of wearable art.
Sizing & fit
Sizes available: one size. Like many of our pieces we consider this to be unisex!
- A (width): 29cm
- B (height): 28cm
All knitwear is individually made, so measurements given are approximate.
Materials
- 100% extra-fine merino wool (Oeko-Tex Standard 100)
- Please note: the sample photographed has a pale blue trim (just seen) - cowls in stock do not have this trim, and are edged with a self colour.
Manufacture
We are committed to sustaining and being part of UK knitwear manufacturing – and Shetland’s place in this.
- We design Nielanell knitwear in our Hoswick studio, with initial concepts carefully translated into the flat panels needed to make up each piece.
- Currently, for this garment, we are working with specialist knitters in Mainland UK to make these panels.
- The garment itself is made in Shetland. Our in-house team in Hoswick transforms the flat panels into a wearable piece of knitwear using linking (a skilled knitting process) and hand-finishing.
- Our knitwear is made in very small batches, slowly. Each piece of Nielanell knitwear can take approximately 12-16 weeks (often longer) from weighing out the yarn needed in our studio to the garment being ready to wear.
Installation by Karlyn Sutherland, at Latheronwheel, Caithness
Design inspiration
The Byre collection of knitwear takes the glass pieces and drawings made by Karlyn Sutherland, and reinterprets these in knit—both the 'pattern' and the shapes of the garments are related to the installation.
Karlyn Sutherland mapped the fall of light within a historic byre (cattle barn) at Latheronwheel, near Lybster in Caithness.
Karlyn's drawings made on specific days at specific times then became panels of glass, which she hung in the space. Each of these shapes of light are only seen once a year (on a clear day)—the glass becomes a recording and echo of the light.
Drawings of the fall and movement of light, later to be made in glass.

As Close As You Will Get To Objectivity
Format: Paperback
If you have read "No Man Knows My History," you have to read "Rough Stone Rolling." The former biography was written by Fawn Brodie, a scholar who grew up LDS but left the church disenchanted and not believing that Joseph Smith was what he claimed to be--a prophet. The latter written by Bushman, a practicing LDS scholar who believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet.
In the preface of "Rough Stone Rolling," Bushman makes the legitimate point that there will never be consensus on Joseph Smith's character or achievements. Furthermore, he confesses that as a believing historian, pure objectivity is impossible.
Nonetheless, I think he comes closer to pure objectivity in this history than any other I have read on Joseph Smith. This has to be one of the best biographies I have ever read. The book is well written, loaded with historical fact, and any assumptions that are made are within detailed, historical contexts. Unlike Brodie's biography, it is very difficult to ascertain Bushman's own opinion. If he had not confessed his belief in the preface, you would wonder. Nowhere does Bushman try to convince you that Smith was a prophet and he is not afraid to explore Joseph Smith's weaknesses and shortcomings as a man. I am a believer so I admit that I may just relate to Bushman better than Brodie. Still, I know many practicing Mormons that would not like this book simply because they have to have Joseph Smith on a pedestal, untouchable, and locked in a glass case. I also know many faithful non-Mormons who believe that a prophet is certainly not a god but is definitely something more than human. Such readers will probably not care for this book either. I believe Joseph Smith was a prophet but I also know he was a man with weaknesses, like every other prophet that came before him. In Bushman's own words, "flawless characters are neither attractive or useful." This is a history of a man; it is not scripture. After boldly claiming heavenly visions, Joseph Smith penned a few great books of scripture that are well worth reading if you really want to explore the faith.
Fawn Brodie takes the title for her biography from Joseph Smith's own admission in 1844 that "No Man Knows My History" and paints, in her opinion, the delusion and deceit behind Smith's confession.
Bushman takes the title for his biography from Joseph Smith's own admission in 1843 that he is a "Rough Stone Rolling" and gives you the most real, honest, and fair assessment of his life that I have ever read. He gives you the man Joseph Smith, with his strengths and weaknesses, and leaves the opinions to the reader.

Comprehensive, but not convincing to this non-believer
Format: Paperback
Having previously read Fawn Brodie's
, I read this one to get the believer's view. Bushman is at his best describing the evolution of Smith's thinking and revelations. Although the book is long, it is well written and authoritative. It gives a deeper understanding of Smith's religious philosophy than does Brodie's book.
To his credit, Bushman confronts many of the crucial controversies surrounding Smith. From my non-believer's perspective, however, the defenses of Smith are not remotely convincing. Some examples:
1. DNA analysis shows without question that the American Indians came from east Asia. This fact is in direct contradiction of the traditional LDS view that Native Americans are lost Israelites. Bushman argues that Smith may have been writing about a small tribe somewhere in New York, or about people outside North America altogether. Within a few pages, Bushman has forgotten about this controversy altogether, and happily describes the Book of Mormon as a history of the American Indians.
2. Smith made the huge mistake of reproducing parts of the hieroglyphics he claims to have interpreted as the "Book of Abraham." These documents have been translated by scholars and have nothing to do with Abraham. Bushman (pp. 291-2) puts forth the argument that Smith's translation may not have been a true translation, but instead may have been a divine revelation simply inspired by the presence of the scrolls. Bushman suggests the same for the Book of Mormon. This is a truly shocking stance for an LDS believer to take: if Smith's "translations" weren't translations, why should anyone believe that his revelations were divinely inspired? Ironically, Bushman's view here sounds much like Brodie's: Not anticipating that scholars would use the Rosetta stone to translate hieroglyphics, Smith imagined that bogus translations would not be found out.
3. Smith repeatedly lied about whether he and the Saints were practicing polygamy. Bushman's defense of Smith in this context reminds me of Bill Clinton's statements regarding Monica Lewinsky: Smith held a secret definition of the term "polygamy," and thus felt free to mislead (or lie) with impunity. The facts, as reported by both Brodie and Bushman, support the conclusion that Smith coerced women into his bed by arguing that their eternal salvation was at stake. The stain of Smith's lustful "revelation" regarding polygamy continues to haunt the LDS, which claims to recoil from earthly polygamy but argues that men (not women) get to have harems in heaven.
Despite these complaints, I recommend this book to non-believers who are patient enough to get through it. I feel that I have much greater insight into the LDS mindset than I did before.

The definitive paperback edition
Format: Paperback
I purchased the Oxford World's Classics edition of "Le Morte d'Arthur: The Winchester Manuscript" for a school reading assignment, and I can say with confidence that this is the version you want. The original Old English is present (it was virtually a new language), complete with very useful footnotes to assist with antiquated words and phrases. The story was intriguing, colorful, and poignant (it's a downer, but a well-written one), filled with memorable characters such as Sir Gareth and Sir Launcelot. If you have a taste for classic literature and are looking for a challenge, definitely give "Le Morte d'Arthur" a read, especially with this version.

Format: Paperback
I got this book for class, so I've only read large segements of it. This copy is an excellent modernization of Malory's text with helpful footnotes and endnotes. The footnotes were always available to explain unfamiliar words without interrupting the flow of the story.
