Cherry Blossoms!

Here in Washington, D.C., we have a Cherry Blossom Festival each year, timed to (hopefully) coincide with the blooming of the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin. The cherry trees were a gift from Japan to the United States, and the Cherry Blossom Festival is a multi-cultural event to celebrate our friendship. The Cherry Blossom scarf is a long felted wool "branch" with small knit "blossoms" – evoking the fickle Springtime when the air is crisp but the sun is bright, and the branches are bare but for these pale blooms.

More images of the Last Phyllis Wrap... for now.

Completed last year, I’m finally posting a few more images of the last Phyllis wrap I completed. I chose some bright and sparkly buttons to accent the rich black mohair and keep the wrap both formal, versatile, and lively.
