becausedragonage:No Solas, look to your fucking sweater. Okay, you guys are going to think I’m the most anal DA fan in existance but this sweater bugs me. First off, it’s not knit, it’s a woven fabric trying to look like a knit. It should be an honest knit and not a deceitful weave pretending it’s something that it’s not. Why is it a woven fabric? Look at the crosshatching in red. Those are vertical and horizontal threads going over and under each other. I know very little about weaving but I think weavers call those thread the weft and woof. If it were a knit the details would look like little V’s. Second, whoever cut that fabric should stab themselves in the eye with their shears. Again, I haven’t cut fabric in years but I’m pretty sure that if you were cutting out sleeves you’d make the top line up with the grain (or whatever), the directions of those threads. If it had been done properly the lines would have lined up with the “should be” instead of the “WTF”,And can we talk about that shoulder seam? Who the fuck seams like that? The stitches should be invisible. Solas, stick to magic because your sewing skills suck. Now, if anyone wanted to knit that sweater it would be a really easy knit. To get that look you’d have to knit the front, back and sleeves separately and then seam it together and knit on the collar. Your basic pattern would be, I think *knit 6, pearl 1, knit 1 pearl 1, knit 6*. Use a DK weight wool (Merino if you have the money). Knit a test swatch, measure that, measure yourself, do a shitload of math and, voila! Solas’ sweater!Meanwhile, I am so disgusted with Bioware’s lack of attention to fabric that I am never going to play another game of theirs again. EVER. Or at least for the next ten minutes. This is easily solved. Simply believe that Solas is always naked/nearly naked/secretly wearing fur (avoiding spoilers that’s me not giving spoilers!) and is in fact using illusions to make it appear as though he’s fully dressed but he has no idea how fabrics work and he thinks this looks cool. -- source link
