Ten On Tuesday Meets Mondo Cable Monday

This weeks Ten on Tuesday question was five sweater patterns that you love and five yarns you would want to knit them with.  I will admit that sweaters tend to scare me a little.  

So number one would have to be the Mondo Cable Pullover by Bonne Marie Burns of Chic Knits

This is my progress from two weeks ago.

Progress as of Sunday morning of this last weekend.  Look one of the sleeves are done.

Current progress.  I have finished the cable crosses and have started the second sleeve.

2. Twist by Bonne Marie Burn from Chic Knits, I am still working on this sweater but got frustrated when I knit the sleeves too long and had to rip it out.  After I finish the Mondo Cable I might try to finish it.

3. Peasy

4. Birch Bark

5. Tea Leaves Cardigan

Those are all Ravelry links.

Now the yarns I would like to knit them with.  

6.  The Mondo Cable Pulli is being knit with Universal Yarns Deluxe Worsted

7.  Twist is being knit with Cascade 220

8.  Peasy I would like to use handspun in a bfl/silk or merino/silk blend

9. Birch Bark I think I would like to knit with handspun at some point as well

10.  I would like to knit the Tea Leaves Cardigan out of Malabrigo Rios

Ten on Tuesday

Today's Ten on Tuesday is your favorite kinds of pie!!

1. Pineapple Pie, it is something that brings back wonderful memories of my childhood helping my grandmother make them. Before we baked them we always sprinkled them with sugar!

2. Pecan Pie, one of my absolute favorites.  I loved how the pecans get all sugary.

3. Pumpkin Pie, I like to make this all year long.  It reminds me of fall.  I think I have everything I need to make one today.

4. Chocolate Cream Pie, how can you not like pie that has chocolate in it????

5. Coconut Cream Pie,  especially if the coconut on top is toasted just a little bit.

6. Apple Pie, with lots of cinnamon and sugar with butter makes the house smell so good.

7. Peach Pie is a favorite that I always forget about.

8. Oatmeal Creme Pie, I know it is not "pie" but I love them.

9. Chicken Pot Pie, but without peas.  Peas are yucky.

10. Ice cream Pie, I love any pie that involves ice cream.
