To relieve the grief

I've been looking at pattern manuscripts at the Renaissance Tailor, and I kind of have the urge to take those patterns and translate the baras and ells to inches and feet. Or centimeters. Then I would take the patterns and graph them out in inches/centimeters.

Are there any books out there that do this?

ETA: Also, is it weird that I get some pleasure out of reading the Alguen manuscripts out loud in the original Spanish? With an outrageous accent? I haven't rolled so many Rs in months and months.

I'm a whole lot chattier than I thought.

In other news, I'm ready to bash heads. Then I will drink a glass of pasteurized milk and laugh maniacally, because, yo, that's how I roll.
