FO: Canyon Flower Socks

Consider the subtitle to this post "Ode to Elizabeth Bishop." Or maybe just "One Art: Part 1." The hardest part about moving cross country is that there's always people and places left behind. Let's just say I was especially missing the splendid colors of a New Mexico sunset when I knit these socks for the TFA Holiday KAL.

They've been finished for nearly two weeks now and even worn and laundered. Just took awhile to document them here. Slowed, no doubt, by my scramble to finish up a pair of KAL mitts by this Friday and some covert holiday knitting.

Don't get me wrong: Minnesota is home and always will be... Yet, January is sure to be good sock knitting weather and I have a pair of Maryland socks in mind. Albuquerque and Baltimore — two lovely cities.
