Arizona is known for gorgeous sunsets. The sunsets are actually one of my favorite things about living in Arizona. Did you know that the red and yellow rays in the Arizona flag show a setting sun? When there are clouds in the sky, it can look like colorful cresting waves. The colors in the yarn instantly brought to mind Arizona’s gorgoues sunsets. The cable patterns brings to mind the way clouds look during the sunsets. Put them together and you have sunset waves!
