Which prompted artist Matt Kish to embark on an amazing project of illustrating every page of this massive novel. It's been published by Tin House in this beautiful collection: Moby-Dick in Pictures: One Drawing For Every Page. You can quickly see some of Kish's work on his blog here and follow the whole project here.
This then inspired designer Ann Weaver to create some knitting designs based on Kish's illustrations, which are now available in her book White Whale Volume 1. You can take a peek at the designs here. I really like the cover sweater, aptly named "The Whiteness".
Someone's probably already done this, but if I had the time (and more importantly the talent), I could get endlessly inspired to conjure up knitting patterns inspired from Virginia Woolf's work, especially To The Lighthouse. From the brown stocking Mrs. Ramsey is actually knitting, to seascapes and lighthouses, boeuf en daubes and Lily's final painting, the possibilities would be endless. And what fun you could have with Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando, Between the Acts or The Waves!
