EHyde Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (yes, the thread title is a pun) After reading WoR, I decided to take Shallan's new chapter symbol (Pattern) and chart it into a knitting pattern, because I like doing fandom-inspired knitting projects and because a circular symbol with six-sided rotational symmetry is just asking to be put on a hat (and then I'll be a symbolhead!). (this repeats six times, knit in the round, like pieces of a pie -- the point at the top is the center of the symbol) I am in the process of test-knitting this now, I'm hoping to have it finished before I go to Brandon's signing on the 21st. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng the Just Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Cool! post a pic when you finish it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karou Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's awesome! Definitely post a pic. Have you done any other Brandon Sanderson knits? I was thinking of trying to chart the bridge four symbol, but I haven't gotten past thinking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHyde Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I will definitely post a picture when it's done! I have not done any Sanderson knitting before this, though I've seen a few other people do so -- someone made a scarf with the allomantic symbols and someone else did a couple of glyphs from WoK as a cabling pattern, which looked really cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shallan88 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's a beautiful pattern! I hope I'll be able to see the finished product at the signing I think the glyphs/symbols would make great accent pillows too...use a metallic thread in there to add some punch. I'm a sucker for pillows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHyde Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I still haven't finished mine, but thechronicferuchemist finished her version! I'm doing mine more like a beanie, but she did it as a beret and I think it turned out really cool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karou Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 That's awesome! Thanks for posting! I'm going to have to make an attempt. (Colorwork is not my friend.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHyde Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Here's my finished hat! I did get it finished in time to wear to the signing, that was a lot of fun (Brandon liked it!). I also made some changes to the chart as I was working, so I'm updating the image in the first post. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karou Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 So glad you finished it in time for the signing. The colors you chose are fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
