Misfits 1: the knitting

Mory knits. Rather obsessively. And I thought it might be fun to share some of the patterns she either knits or wears in Misplaced Souls (Misfits 1).

Mory’s go-to hat pattern: Snap by Tin Can Knits. Mory is knitting a slouch version of this hat with her own [K4/P4] check pattern thrown in for fun throughout Misfits 1. I’ve knit several Snap Hats myself and you can see them on my Ravelry page. I will also be giving away a couple of hats (cashmere!!) when I get my hands on the paperbacks for Misfits 1.

One of my first Snap hats …

Mory’s go-to pattern for self-striping socks: Smooth Operator by Susan B. Anderson. Mory is wearing rainbow socks, like these:

MCD’s Smooth Operator’s knit in Gauge Dye Works, White Light colour way. Ravelry Page.

Mory’s self-striping arm warmers: Palmistry by Stephanie Lotven. Mory is knitting a longer version than called for in the pattern in Misfits 1 with a skein of Black-Hearted Brimstone from MudPunch yarns. I’ll be giving away some self-striping yarn in May when I get Misfit 1 paperbacks.

My longer version of Palmistry, knit for author friend, Coralie Moss. Ravelry Project Page.

Mory’s large purple/pink/blue shawl: The Drifter by Tamy Gore. I haven’t knitted my version yet but this is the yarn I’m going to use:

I think I will start this shawl on release day! Yarn is from Black Cat.

Other knitwear/patterns mentioned:

Pearl Godfrey’s (light gray) Estonia lace shawl: Echo Flower Shawl by Jenny Johnson Johnen

Mory’s colorwork (mostly black with purple and light gray) sweater that she wears to lunch: Gardengate by Jennifer Steingass

Burgundy is wearing lace socks that Mory knit for her birthday: Spring Forward by Linda Welch

In the final scenes of Misfits 1, Mory is attemtping to learn the brioche stitch: Plumpy by Andrea Mowry.

Fun! Fun!

  1. Love the pictures! Makes me almost want to learn how to knit. Mory will need to knit some masks to go out and about. That is what I have been sewing lately.

  2. The yarn you’ve picked out is beautiful! I can knit simple basics (ie. scarf), but these patterns make me want to learn more knitting skills! Can I send my efforts to you to fix when I mess them up? Because I will mess something up!

  3. Love the patterns! I have to laugh a bit because I spent most of the day adding products to my yarn shops online shop, I’m a partner, one of 12 women owners, and we’re using this stay home time to good advantage!

    I also want to thank you for the Audible copy of Misfits and Mental Blocks that I won in a drawing. Tia Rider is a fantastic narrator.

    1. So smart to bulk up your online shop during this crazy time!! And I’m so glad you enjoyed Amplifier 3 in audio!! I absolutely adore Tia’s narration as well.

  4. Oooo I may have to put down my crochet hook and dust off my knitting needles to give some of these a try! Love that you’re sharing the patterns

  5. Alright, goals are Mary’s poncho, do you have pattern for it!?

    And then I’ll need to make some socks, and arm warmers, and…….lol

  6. ohhhh I love your yarn choices for the drifter, never used black cat yet …. I think we need a misfit KAL now.
