Amigurumi Coffee Donut

Well, I’ve decided to pick up a new hobby and it’s about time I explored another because personally, I’ve had my run with crocheting scarves, hats and towelettes. I decided to pick up a book on amigurumi. In case you don’t know, amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words “ami”, meaning crocheted or knitted, and “gurumi”, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. I’ve got a couple of books – one on stuffed animals and one on culinary delights. It was hard to decide which one to start with, but in the end, I let my growling stomach do the choosing and we landed on culinary delights. This donut in particular excited me. I couldn’t resist it because I am such a big fan of donuts. I decided in this expresso flavored one because it is an all-time favorite and I can just imagine myself dunking it into my non-existent coffee at the time. Plus, the best part about it is I’m on a diet and you can’t go wrong with a zero calorie donut. In fact, you can enjoy it at any moment. This donut is the first of many batches that I am going to have to make. One down, five more to go….
