Cables to Keep Me Warm

Winter storms are coming one after another.  It's time to make some warm hats and scarves for myself.  Since I love cables, I decided on the Cabled Beret .  It reminds me of the Irish Hiking Scarf  I made a while ago.  Now I just need to find a similar pattern for a cowl and maybe a pair of fingerless gloves.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Ravelry Friends!

Getting Started

I used to sew a long time ago and then I stopped.  Now I've been bitten by the sewing bug and I'm excited to start again.  One of the things I would like to do is get a new sewing machine.  I have a basic Singer but I'm looking for a machine that can do a little more.  I have no idea what machine or brand (Singer, Bernina, Pfaff, Janome...)?

I'm also going to need some sewing notions, so I decided to get a new sewing basket to keep all of the notions in one place.

I wonder what will be the first thing I will make?  Something real simple that I can whip up on my old machine.  We'll see and I'll post the finished project later.
