    Interview: Sep, 2012

    E. Hyde

    You've already given some information about the origins of the custom of a safe hand (feminine arts being those that can be done one-handed) but why the word "safe?"

    Brandon Sanderson

    It grew out of the culture and linguistics somewhat naturally; nobody 'named' it that.

    Interview: Jan 24th, 2015

    Question

    (Wife couldn’t make it to signing because of work) She wanted to know, the safehand, is it always the left hand or is it--? That’s what I thought, she thought it was just the non-dominant hand.

    Brandon Sanderson

    It is. Nope, it is the-- So it's rough on lefties. But remember, most non-nobles they just wear a glove, so it's not such a big deal for them. It's when you're noble and left handed that you kind of have a problem.

    Interview: Feb 22nd, 2016

    Question

    With safehand culture, with one hand feminine, two hand masculine: is knitting considered masculine?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Knitting is not one of the prime arts, and so it would be considered either direction. It’s not one of the major arts, so men can knit their socks and things like that at war and not have to feel feminine, but women could knit if they wanted to, also.

    Question

    Okay. So, Dalinar can make baby socks.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes, Dalinar can make baby socks and not feel- (we were walking away at this point, he stopped talking).
