it’s quite cold here so I already noticed before baking that it didn’t look like bread dough is supposed to look after proofing
I used a written out recipe and it seems some details are slightly different from the video
So, I’m going to try again, this time following the video exactly and putting the pan in the warmest place in the house. I did see some activity, so the yeast is not dead. It has a good crust too so I’m not giving up on this recipe just yet.
Last night I made some more little heart booklets. I have them at school today so that my students can pick one out and decorate it if they would like. I’m thinking I might have to make a few more to send as valentines to a couple friends. (Well late valentines)
That’s absolutely posssible, I already left it in a bit longer but I didn’t want to risk burning it. But cast iron can get really cold. It also didn’t really rise. I guess it was just a bit too cold in the kitchen overall.
Already looks much better than the first one. I think the previous recipe I used was incorrect. I also opened a new pack of yeast just in case, but this looks like a dough, not a batter.
I found a partially used kit at the thrift shop a while ago and brought it home. When I ran out of loops partway through a coaster, I had to find some more to finish and ended up buying a lot from some online shop. What was I even thinking, what do you do with these things? They are cute an all but I don’t seriously need more coasters, we have a set of leather ones from a cafe friends used to have and we have used them for years and never needed more than the 4 of them, lol. Anybody want these? I would be happy to send them to you in the mail…
Today i worked on my hat WiP and a valentine gift for hubby- neither finished- and the completed thing of the day is this hot mess but super-fun-if-you’re-two cardboard house.

@AntBee’s hearts encouraged me to make some hearts of my own with the leftover yarn from my last Operation Use Up Yarn scarf and hat project. I haven’t decided if I am going to connect them vertically, so left the tails for now.

I did some knitting on one of two scarves I have left in WIPS…they are boring so I can only do so much at a time. I figure if I do a few rows every week, I will have a nice scarf by summer when I don’t need it…
Well, like you said, the crust looks good.
