Super Heros Up Next?

It's been rough at my house lately. Between the potty training and DH working evenings, I'm feeling a little frazzled. I set a timer for whenever I need to take DS2 to the potty. However, I can't seem to catch the random 10 minutes apart potty breaks. Well, except when DS1 is ready for my assistance in the bathroom! DS2 has also discovered that if he cries out "I gotta potty" after he's tucked in bed for the night, he gets an extra few minutes up! Hate that delay tactic- how ever did Mom survive 4 kids? I mean he's requesting it 45 minutes AFTER I tuck him in. 

It doesn't help that I was hiding in the kitchen sewing. The apartment is decently large but the sewing machine is loud. I haven't been sewing for a while but I made up for it. All of my blocks of 4 have been joined into a block of 8. Hopefully this kick will last long enough for me to justify purchasing another block of Moda Fabrics pre-cut squares. Speaking of sewing, am I the only one that saw Petite Purls Issue 15? So many cute patterns although I can see how they might be dangerous in my house with 2 boys.  I think I do want to pick out some superhero fabric for my boys and make the Super Hero Cape.  DS1 wants to wear his Ironman shoes all the time so I think if I could find some fabric and make it, we might have a new favorite toy.  The Ironman shoes- they are really the Avengers but we only focus in on Ironman.  I'll need to think a little longer on what to make DS2's cape out of . He seems to love Mater from Cars mostly.  No matter what I make or when, they each will want the others.

I managed to spin roughly an hour the other night because the boys were very well behaved. I did figure out that if I give each of them a little bit of fiber, they drop it on my spinning wheel and have "contributed" to Mommy's spinning. Of course spinning on my wheel most days now has made the novelty wear off so now its more of a thing that Mommy does. Of course, I ruin my good fortune when I move the wheel to a different room. For some reason the same activity in a different location changes the game.  Go figure. I ended plying for an hour before I ran out of singles.  After letting the plyed yarn rest on the bobbin over night, I have roughly 156 yard of Sport/DK weight yarn! I still have a little too much energy in the yarn but I think after a soak and hanging to dry with a little weight, I should have a well balanced hank.

I have been cruising bobbins, plying flyers, weaving bobbins, fiber and fleece across an assortment of websites. Etsy has been the most dangerous by far! From fiber and fleece I've started to look at project bags because I'm curious about the project bags other people make and how. Now, I have a bag I lust after.  Liberty Avenue Bags has a Craft Ninja.  The bag set up is neat but I want the Ninja and I want it in hot pink! I am not a pink person just like I'm not a monogamous knitter at  heart. Off to window shop Etsy I go; at least I hope it's just window shopping.  I will leave you with a quote from another knitting bag by Kelly Connor Designs, "If knitting be the food of love, ply on."
