Welcome from your new officers! August has been a busy month. We went on a cruise to Alaska at the beginning of the month – had beautiful weather and saw lots of whales, bears, eagles, puffins, and other creatures.

I’m trying to get familiar with the President’s duties (like writing a column for the newsletter!) and hosted the first Executive Board meeting. Your chapter presidents can catch you up on what was discussed.

I haven’t had too much time to knit this month but I’m working on the Embellish As You Will shawl which was sold as a kit at Yarn Store Boutique a few months ago. The kit was called Spring in Texas and came with some beautiful yarn from Theodora’s Pearls in shades of blue (think bluebonnets!). Unfortunately, I messed up part of it by following the lace pattern in the middle of the stockinette section and didn’t notice it for several rows… I’m still trying to get that to look right .

A few days ago, I tested positive for Covid, so I’ll be quarantining for several days – hurray, more knitting time!
