This is so exciting to have a blog set up for us to share our adventures in LoveBug land. So I thought I'd post some ideas of where to release these fun little critters and a source where I get pattern ideas.
First of all, I don't believe there is any real "rule " as to where to leave a LoveBug. I am a firm believer in public transit. Here in Eugene, Or , a lot of us utilize this mode of transport. The bus is a great place to randomly release a LoveBug or two.
I've also left some in the library, on a park bench, at the gym and have even been so bold as to just walk up to a perfect stranger, who appears to be having a bad day, and just handing it to them. Talk about instant gratification! Seriously the look on that person's face was just priceless. I didn't find it necessary to stand and wait for further response, the smile was simply enough to make my whole day!
As far as the patterns, I think anything can be made into a LoveBug. I especially love the patterns of Anna Hrachovec, Mochimochiland. Her patterns can be found here on her website and many are free on ravelry.com One of my favorites to create as a LoveBug is the wonderfully adorable Humanbeans . I make them all different colors and attach a little note to each one and before I set them free, I have a little pep talk with them (they're so anxious to get out there and start spreading the love) (~:
The possibilities are endless. I hope this little chat was helpful and really look forward to some feedback. Have a wonderful day everyone!
