Decided it was such a lovely morning that I must go for a beach walk before sitting at the computer all day. So pleased I did, the earth movers (lots of work building groynes this winter) were putting the sand back where it belongs and the tracks were great - Mark-making (M3) on a grand scale.

R: a ready made cushion design! Top bit looks like chenille Rev St St, middle Stocking St bands with Garter ridges & Honeycomb Slip St, then tweedy St St at the bottom
R: the centre section could be laddered knit, a column of buttonhole type openings, a double cable or knit / purl stitch patterning
This amazing image is from the December issue of National Geographic magazine - this publication is a wonderful source of inspiration for design.

R: the plank ends could inspire you to knit long Picot edging fringes but make them in random varying lengths
