I discovered Good Night, Day through a friend on Kollabora and man, I got excited. It’s a Canadian knit label by Tara-Lynn Morrison that’s refreshingly modern, using minimalist knitting techniques and gorgeous fair trade wool. I ordered Volume 1 of her patterns deciding to take my needles to the Simcoe Braided Headband first. You know when you buy a pattern book or magazine knowing you won’t use about 75% of the patterns? Not the case here, I can honestly say I want to knit this book front to back.
I used the Alpaca Worsted wool from Americo because it’s incredibly soft, knitting it double strand to make it thick enough for the pattern. I’d never done a provisional cast-on before or knit cables, but that was surprisingly easy to learn. I also liked the effect a three needle bind-off had on the joining, definitely a clean look.



Also, check out the packaging it came in (I’m a sucker for presentation). I think I’ll knit either the Markham Collar or Welland Sweater next, and probably pick up Volume 2 soon which just finished it’s first round of printing.

It looks really great, Kate. I have only knit one pattern from that book, though I have yarn ready to do the Markham and Simcoe in between bigger projects sometime soon. I think various knitalongs and gifts have distracted me from it, but your headband is definitely making me want one.
super cute! this is going to keep your ears warm when comes the winter…
Looks great! I literally just found out about this company myself through Frankie magazine. Nice to hear the patterns are do-able and fantastic looking. Nice cables!
