behind the scenes: good night, day knits

obviously, not exactly a typical day, i felt i should pinch myself. i still can't imagine having such days all the time, i could get used to that... in any case, had a pure perfect photoshoot for my new winter accessories & apparel knits for  good night, day's lookbook w/ clothing provided by robber (thanks erin!). it was surreal & seeing my knits in such a context, as i had only ever imagined, makes all the stress of having a small independent business  so worth it. i matched  & styled the clothing from dace, lover, mociun, brooklyn tailors, steven allen (can you even imagine), w/ my extra-bulky knits, by proportions & colour, as well as contexts such as mens wear inspired. it was a such a pleasure to work with photographer Ériver, he was really wonderful, taking great care in all the details, & was really patient & gave tremendous direction with the model bryanna. we couldn't have asked for a more sweet model,    & i was in complete  awe of her dutch beauty, especially when she wore the black turban she was of another time. & the rest of the photos i snapped here (because if you don't take them it didn't happen right, strange how it really comes to that sometimes).

i will be taking everything w/ me to montreal for puces pop (& somethings may not return), & other things will be available in the shop soon too (i have to really stress that most of the items, especially the sweaters, super chunky lambton cowls & the tubans are very limited number available). if you see something you feel you love, please don't hesitate to contact me, so you don't miss out, i'm happy to make an invoice for you, &offer it pre-sale.
some of the knits available in the shop right now include, the leeds merino halter top in black merino (&variegated sotobosque), & the markham collar of alpaca in cream (&lynx).

sneak peek: entire colour palette

introducing the entire colour palette for good night,day! includes plums (light & dark, plum on plum), oranges (influenced peach & coral), grays, black, cognac, naturals, cremes... wool blends of merino, alpaca, silk & bamboo...wool techniques of hand painting, thick & thin twist, super chunky... fair trade from  peru & uruguay... can't wait to start knitting up all the new winter accessories, at the moment, i'm knitting some chunky & cozy knits for puces pop in montreal. as well knitting up all the samples for an upcoming photo shoot too, w/ Ériver Hijano (more on that later)...with all the new items & colours & textures... colour blocking & braids are on my mind at the moment, along w/ simple, chunky, soft & modern.

my favorite, will be a sweater soon! 

it is a superbulky thick & thin hand painted pure wool from uruguay. 

holy fuck right?

consider: braids + cables + bulky

i've been really inspired to incorporate braids (ie braided cables) into my very bulky winter knit accessories, like this of a sample braided turban headband i've knit of some wonderfully very chunky merino wool, from abuelita yarns. just whats inspiring my knits right now.

...just before

just before we leave for camping, i was finishing up some orders, & wanted to share some results of dying with teal & violet. (also, did you see the blog post siri wrote including the welland dip dyed in peach & also the lovely hairs that also looked ombre dyed.)  as well, my leather tags arrived, just what i wanted too, perfectly simple. & in case you were curious, the new shop takes its name after the modernist book good morning, midnight by jean rhys, she took her name from the first line in a emily dickinson poem, & the shop uses the last line of the poem.

Good morning, Midnight!

I'm coming home,

Day got tired of me –

How could I of him?

Sunshine was a sweet place,

I liked to stay –

But Morn didn't want me – now –

So good night, Day!

be inspired!

today its insanely sweltering in the shade, its actually 38 celsius today & something like 44 celsius w/ humidy. i love the heat & the sun, although i do hate how i look tanned (go figure!), oh & how my hair is also insanely frizzy & puffy (oh well, thats what floppy hats are for). in any case, the weather today inspired me to create this inspiration collage around the leeds merino bra in my shop, the variegated merino version & the verlaine nude merino leeds.

just what i needed...thanks to everyone

sometimes, i'm overcome & emotionally burnt out with the disadvantages that come along with  rather unstable circumstances & then i realize that i really wouldn't have it any other way.  & learn over & over, not to take things quite so personally. & finally, that everything else is just a wonderful side effect. with the launch of my new shop, which is really like starting allover again, it has of course been difficult. yet, i've had the luck of  friends & also fellow comrades that support dreams like mine, & who want to help out, for the sake of just that. the new good night, day shop has received some recent blog posts of support that make it all worth it. thanks to these  blogs, beaux mondes (& also working w/ stephanie & erin of robber), sally jane vintage, victoire, the time is grey, stylebook, elskan, & variacje. also, thanks to everyone for just sharing on facebook, tumblr& twitter too, it all means a lot. & although i've had recent design days like this at good night, day , aka  ripping apart of a sweater catastrophe, after days of design tweaking & endless stitches. things are still exciting as i knit up some items for odessa, to send along as items  for a plaid photo shoot. soon, i get to take a very quick camping trip with the family &even the cat, which is something we really appreciate & don't take for granted. i hope to just take it easy & not worry all the time & stress, if i can ...  i hope everyone else finds sun & stress free time to themselves too, i know its corny, but...
i've also extended the date, so you can still use the code: merci for 10% off your purchase in the shop (& in the etsy shop too), & including the sale ombre tote, which is already discounted.
