unicornduke | Baking and fiber day

I spent today working on fiber stuff this morning and part of the afternoon. Mostly yarn management, moving singles from spinning bobbin to storage bobbin and plying. I did ply a yarn that I later regretted it, it would have been an amazing single for weaving but I'll see what happens with it when I wash it and hopefully it relaxes. I also skeined up three yarns and recorded yardage. I'm going to spin a bit before bed.

In the afternoon, I had a baking extravaganza. I wanted to use my new stand mixer and also wanted more of the crackers I made a couple weeks ago. I made double chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies, both thick cookie doughs so I could see how the new mixer stood up to them. Very well!

I also made cheesy cornbread and two batches of the crackers, one rosemary and one paprika. Unfortunately I didn't put in enough paprika, so they're just plain salty crackers. Excellent, just not what I was aiming for. I also made granola since I need more for breakfast. And then I made simple dinner afterwards.

I just rang in the New Year watching a streamer from Northern Ireland as is custom for me these last few years. New Year's happens for her and then I go to bed. I'm sleepy and full of food, so I expect I'll be in bed within an hour or so.
