I found more James C. Brett Rustic Aran Tweed in my stash, and I wanted to knit something with lace, but which would come out nicely textured and this motif is what I decided to use. The lace motif in this cowl came out with an unexpected curve due to being knit in the round. I like the resulting texture, and decided to call it Hyloa which is Old English for a bend or turning.
