New Mexico loves its chilis! The hard question is red or green chili! My preference is green, so the cuffs, heel, and toes are worked in a green yarn. New Mexico is also a gorgeous, colorful landscape with everything from hot air balloon festivals to brightly colored clothing and homes. Choose your brightest, wildest yarn for the MC, and a strong solid color for the CC.
