I think at least
firstfrost and
remcat will be amused by this
pattern for socks with the first page of the text of Beowulf. Link yoinked from
ysabetwordsmith, who says she'd rather have that on a vest. Given the charts for the socks and a simple vest pattern, would that be hard? I imagine there would be some wacky chart-splicing involved, but that might just mean juggling a few rectangles around to reassemble them nicely into a page?
