Nerd Wars dissertation piece. Notes:

Summary of Project: Tabbard representative of the Horde, from the game World of Warcraft
Pattern: Of my own making. I plan to knit a black tabbard with red cables on edging, red colourworked horde symbol with side ties. I plan to share the pattern on completion.

Horde symbol chart comes from http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/horde-chart

Yarn: Red Heart comfort in Black and Red. I’ve decided to go acryllic since a huge amount is needed for this project and going with more natural fibers is cost prohibitive.
Swatch:
Category: Team spirit. Since WoW is a faction based MMORPG, nothing says lovin’ like team colours.
Time justification: I am new to colourwork and this is a large knit. As I will be working out the pattern as I go, I anticipate frogging and restarting.
