Happy #NeedleWorkMonday everyone!

May I offer you some doughnuts? 🍩

Happy April Fool's day!! 😁


On a non April Fool's Day, they would be doughnut pincushions ...

This week, I decided to pause my shoulwaist strap project (after chaining and chaining about 5-6 meters) to make way and show some 🧑 and support for this round of @foxyspirit's UltimateCrochet Contest.


I was browsing and wondering what to crochet for April Fool's day and I stumbled upon this delicious doughnuts/donuts pattern.

It is a simple and fun pattern to follow and you can mix any colour to create your favourite doughnuts!

I love chocolates and was hoping to make the one with chocolate coating and drizzles but I do not have any dark chocolate yarn!!! Uggggh!!

I ended up with a Raspberry, orange, cream cheese swirl doughnut and a Matcha green tea pandan doughnut πŸ˜‹.


.πŸ’–.πŸ’–.🍩.πŸ’–.πŸ’–.

Here is a quick look at some of the steps based on the pattern:

It starts with chaining 15 and joining with a single crochet.
In Round 1, it is single crochet all around, followed by step by step increases from Rounds 2 to 5.
Rounds 6 and 7, it is single crochet all around again.

And I crocheted 4 pieces, 2 pieces as the base doughnuts, 2 coloured pieces as the toppings.

Then, the pattern asks that we join the center with whip stitches...

And whip stitches at the edges, as we begin stuffing the doughnuts...

And finish off...

How do you like my Raspberry, orange, cream cheese swirl and Matcha green tea pandan doughnuts.........pincushions? πŸ˜…

My Actifit Today: April 1, 2019

It is the first day of April 2019 and walk I did, to the office and back, a few rounds here and there and at the end of the day, brisk walked in the gym, listening to my favourite songs.

Happy Monday everyone!

12000 steps!!?! Wow this is much. Congratulations 🌺🌺🌈 You have more than earned a doughnut πŸ˜‚ And they look delicious and as always your stitches are super neat. I am also a big doughnut lover especially the cream filled ones. But the we donβ€˜t have a shop nearby (a friend of mine often drives to one on Sunday and being lovely, she sometimes brings us some)
Here we more often have the German variation of doughnuts, but the dough is much dryer and not so dense.
So, perhaps I should ~~~bake~~ crochet some myself 😍

Thank you @neumannsalva!!! Kekeke window shopping contributed a lot to the steps!! Oo there are different doughnut variations? I like fluffier doughnuts with just sugar coating, not the dense kind like dunkin doughnuts or krispy kreme because I can eat more of the fluffier ones πŸ˜„

Posted using Partiko iOS

We have only Dunkin doughnuts here and I like their Boston cream doughnut. The German variation are β€šBerlinerβ€˜ it is also a yeast dough which is fried. They are filled with jam and coated with sugar.
http://honestcooking.com/berliner-recipe-because-everybody-loves-a-jelly-donut/
I found this English recipe (but the normal Berliner is much bigger than the one in the photo πŸ˜‚)
Are dunkin doughnuts dense or fluffy for you?

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Ooo the Berliner looks very yummyyyy. It looks fluffy. The last Dunkin doughnut I had yearssss ago was quite dense but maybe I have not been to a good outlet and maybe they weren’t that fresh. Is Dunkin doughnut dense or fluffy for you? I had a simple sugar coated doughnut from a local bakery last 2 weeks and it was fluffy and yummmmmmyyyy.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Dunkin doughnuts are dense for me. Much denser than the German variety ... but it is possible that I like the doughnuts more because they are much more exotic than Berliner :-D We have to drive more than half an hour to buy Dunkin doughnuts. Perhaps this makes them even more appealing :-D And I like the cream in the doughnuts better than the cream variety of the German Berliner. The German filling is more like buttercream and the Dunkin doughnuts cream more like custard.
Maybe we need a needleworkmonday doughnut and Berliner testing special :-DDD

Ha! I didn’t realize that I made a pun! πŸ™‚

I was looking at the picture in the #ccc trending and getting all hungry... only to realize I would only get a mouthful of yarn! Quite an April Fool's gag! I was TOO through with you until you explained how this was done... but, seriously, this is super nice and works for both my spare time and my diet!

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Haha thanks for dropping by @deeannmathews! It does look quite yummy. I am resisting from biting into them πŸ€ͺ. Do you do needlework? If you do, you can join us every Monday too :)
