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.
