Everyone, I believe I may be on to something.
Spoiler
I believe I'm going to need a finer gauge yarn though to get a better look, but I seem to have figured out the pattern I need to use.
I will have a Solas sweater.
Oooooh looking nice! I also do knitting as a hobby, and yes, from the looks of it you will need a finer gauge yarn if you want a nicer appearance. Best of luck, mate. Hope it turns out nicely

Thanks! Yeah, this is a yarn that is a light worsted weight....I'm thinking sport weight. I really don't want to go all the way down to fingering weight for a sweater ><
Then again a Solas sweater might be worth that kind of pain.
I have no idea how to knit, but that looks like a great start. I used to have about three basic crochet stitches as a child after an old lady who was friends with my mom taught me, but that faded.
Solas' shirt looks like something I really want to touch. It seems like it would be fine and soft. I am very tactile and clothes that are soft are the best (and only thing I'll wear).

See, I'm actually sitting here debating on what the fiber content of his sweater would actually be. At first I jumped to the idea of something like a merino wool, but I kind of wonder if it might actually be a linen or cotton blend.
Ahh, yes. Solas has brought together my two ultimate ways to nerd out.....video games and yarn. Damn you Mr. Weekes for officially creating the perfect character.
Every time I am in a craft store, I inevitably spend time probably looking like a weirdo and feeling the wool. So I sort of understand. It's also totally understandable seeing all the art of Lavellans hugging his sweater or wearing it.

Don't worry.....you don't look like a weirdo doing that in a craft store. Most people who work with yarn will do things like rub it on our face and neck to judge the softness.
Have to say, I would love to knit a Solas sweater out of cashmere or alpaca......but that would be a very expensive sweater. And potentially become a family heirloom. I think I'm just going to shoot for merino.

I felt this way about Dr Who and I was almost swayed to once again try to learn to knit so I could make my hubs Tom Barker's scarf. But sadly I am all thumbs when it comes to coordinating two needles. Much better with a crochet hook and I am terrible proud of the Angry Bird Amigurumi and hat I made for my nephew.
Looking forward to seeing your finished product
Also found this amusing post on Tumblr about his sweater, the writer has some strong opinions and their language reflects that:

Hey... um... sorry to interrupt the flow of the thread. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. *blush*
I wouldn't post at all, except I discovered this picture, which seemed to perfectly symbolize how Solas broke our--um, Lady Lavellan's heart.
Apparently it, and many pictures about a pale, naked, long-haired girl (usually with a bunny mask) and a black wolf, was made by the artist Chiara Bautista. She has stated in her facebook page that the rabbit girl and wolf are meant to symbolize this girl's love life:
However, I can't help but feel they can also symbolize Solas' and Lady Lavellan's relationship.
Solas is the wolf, obviously. The wolf being the Night Sky can also symbolize Solas' connection to the Fade, and being the Ancient Elvhen God Fen'Harel.
Lady Lavellan is the girl with the bunny mask (particularly if your Lavellan is pale and/or with long hair), and the girl's bunny mask ("the rabbit in the moon") can symbolize her being Elvhen, since bunnies and elves both have pointed ears, and some DAI humans call elves "rabbit" as an insult. (Ahem, Gaspard to Briala.)
I feel like many of these pictures can "symbolize" various points in their relationship. For example:
This can symbolize Solas and Lady Lavellan consulting a map when out and about.
This can symbolize Lady Lavellan comforting Solas after he's heartbroken about losing his friend.
This can symbolize Lady Lavellan crafting special armor just for Solas.
This can symbolize them consulting detailed maps of new areas, especially uncharted regions. And the bunnies with them can symbolize the benevolent Fade spirits they want to protect, or even Cole, since Cole likes rabbits. (Remember during the Wicked Grace game where he says, "I like the part with the rabbit in it" after Lady Lavellan tells a story?)
This can represent the exact moment she gave up her vallaslin for him, if she did (bunny mask = vallaslin? since vallaslin = dedication to being elven?), and that brief moment when they're both happy.
And this can symbolize the aftermath of Solas taking her vallaslin, and the little bunny admonishing the wolf for taking her mask can represent Cole admonishing Solas for taking Lady Lavellan's vallaslin and leaving. ("She is bare-faced, embarrassed, and she doesn't know.")
And finally, to wrap this up, and bring this full-circle, I feel like this picture can symbolize the Solas romance fandom's heartbreak. The man in the suit represents Patrick Weekes, the little octopus girl represents all of us wanting a happy ending, and the picture in the story represents what we want to happen, but might not. ("The story of Solas is not a happy one." 
)
So... yeah... um... Th-that's all I wanted to share. If you wanna see more artwork by her, check out her facebook. *runs and hides*

Those are awesome! And that poor writer is clearly offended by Solas' lack in sewing. Hopefully such offense doesn't happen if we get to see June. then there is no excuse for poor work.
I do crochet also, but I prefer knitting for garments. I love crochet for blankets and accessories like bags and such.
I also sat and realized that Merrill's little shawl/neckerchief could be a knit project as well. And I happen to have some very Dalish elfly looking green yarns.
>_> I have work to do.

Aww, don't run away! This artwork you shared is amazing, and you should feel free to post whenever you want Thanks for sharing! 
Haha, I guess he couldn't really say "Where is June when you actually need him?!?"
The review was great. I can imagine Solas trying to sew his sweater, ancient elven swears under his breath when the stitching goes very poorly.Also found this amusing post on Tumblr about his sweater, the writer has some strong opinions and their language reflects that:http://becausedragon...ng-sweater-okay

The thing not only opens and closes ways to Fade itself, but is vaguely hinted at being able to give people access even to the Golden/Black city. .
I'm kind of thinking/hoping we may be going to the GC/BC in future DLC and of course learn Solas' doings there ... or have him with us physically (or even a Fade projection). The Magisters physically walked the Fade and the city, and since the Inquisitor possesses that power (and an obvious connection to people's look on the Chantry/Divine...) It kind of makes sense to go that route. Maybe this is how the Qun get involved too -- they want to see if they can silence magic at its core and/or investigate the religion of Thedas to prove it false in a way?There's a leaked survey and while I am not entirely convinced that it's 100% legit OR that it states things that will all happen, but it does mention that the Anchor suddenly explodes with Fadey power. What it may mean I'm not sure - is the Anchor growing unstable without the thing that created it? Or more sensitive the more powerful Inquisitor becomes? Is the power stored in the Orb looking to go back to it, but finds only Inquisitor? Is there something that happened in the Fade? Was this caused by you know who?
No wait
LIIIIZ!
*flails*
I can't handle anything lyrical or musical. It burns my eyes. *shoves Codex entry into arms and sprints away*
Welcome back to the thread.
I have no idea what to make of this codex entry either. When I first read it I thought it was about Ameridan battling the Dread Wolf. And then I met Hakkon, so I thought it was Hakkon. But now that I read it again, that can't possibly be the case because 1) Hakkon wasn't wolfy at all, and the poem explicitly states they battle a wolf-like creature, and 2) Ameridan actually survived this foe, or at least completely vanquished it, which wasn't what happened with Hakkon, and 3) Is it just me or does it read like Ameridan defeated the wolf while in the Fade? At the same time that Haron defeated the wolf on this side of the Veil?
Aside from that, I have no idea. Maybe it's Fen'Harel but... I dunno, too little info at this point, at least that I can make out
Chapter 5 is now up and posted, guys! Enjoy
Link: http://archiveofouro...hapters/9921797
Summary: [Post Game][Solas/Lavellan] Where was the Maker when the Chantry turned on innocents? Where was He when the burnings began? Was He the one who sent the Seekers into our villages? Into our cities? Into our homes and into our lives? The Chantry claimed many things. Prophetic visions. Divine will. Reincarnation. Certainly, the blame for what happened can be laid at their feet. In the end, however, it was we who made the decisions. We were responsible because we did nothing to stop them. Nobody was happy, even those who still believed in the Maker and his will. Most of us bowed our heads, hiding and hoping that the storm would blow over. When our neighbors were taken - when the people we loved and cared about were stolen from us - we sat in silence and allowed tragedy to unfold.
Oh my god. Hello. I am a fan ))

I've seen some of these pics on Tumblr before, but never knew who the artist was. They're really beautiful, and they do fit Solavellan really well, thanks so much for sharing them XD
FLABBADENCE!
If Solas comes back today too, we'll have proof that blood sacrifices do work!
Anyways, what struck me about the poem in the first place was the mention of the wolf having the Fade in its eyes.
The ending part, with Haron and Ameridan apparently making it a long-running argument, makes it sound like this was earlier in their career.
Sounds like they weren't aware that they were dealing with a creature as much 'spirit as beast'.
It's so nice to see you back here Flabbadence!
And guys, if you like Solavellan smut, I highly recommend reading her fic on that link. You won't regret it. It's so hot! *wink wink*

CADDIUS! XD (wow your name looks like a command in all caps hahaha, roman general indeed)
Blood sacrifices eh? Ummm do I ask or... Yeah probably be best if I don't
Yeah yeah, it was definitely sometime earlier in their career and yes, while I think they did know they were dealing with something related to the Fade, (maybe assumed it was a possessed beast because of the allusions to the Fade and the use of the word demon even pretty early on in the poem) neither of them thought of it as a double entity (which begs the question how the hell did whoever wrote this poem know about that in the first place?).
Hmmm... at this point I'm thinking, maddened hold beast? Assuming this happened in the Basin.
