From the pattern:

I ended up with two skeins, one green to sand, and the other sand to blue, which I then knitted into one long lengthwise “beach.” I made up a pattern that would accentuate the “beach” quality of the colors: knitted lengthwise, starting with blue water, graduating through muga silk/wool sand, and ending with green grasses and plants, with a pattern of increases and decreases that emulated irregular waves on the shore. I based the number of increases in each section on the Fibonacci sequence, but not in strict Fibonacci order.
