Pacific


Not much (or any) knitting content today. We had to go to the Monterey area for business this weekend, but after the business part was done, the spouse suggested we walk on the beach. I have been to Carmel-By-The-Sea many times, but never down to the beach there, so it was all new to us. Ocean Avenue ends in a small parking lot and a drop through lovely soft sand to the beach below. The waves were extremely large and high because of the storm that was headed inland. A lovely overcast day.


Heading down the dune to the Pacific with the curve of land in the distance.




Large curly waves. Must not be a surfing beach because not a surfer in sight.



View down the beach to the golf course in the distance.





The view across town to the sea over the rooftops of Carmel-By-The-Sea.




I guess I feel obliged to add some knitting content. Did you know that that odd long needle that has been sitting in the box with the knitting needles for decades without being used, the odd one with a hook on the end (I think it may be an afghan stitch crochet hook) is excellent for fishing a clog out of the end of the vacuum cleaner hose? And I must observe that people who sew and knit can produce lots of fodder for vacuum cleaner clogs. At least the masses of threads and fabric scraps are colorful.
