I’m going to London, and I’m bringing some friends with me to drop around! For the uninitiated, since 2011 I’ve been crocheting little characters and leaving them behind for strangers to find by leaving photo clues on social media. Find one and it’s yours to keep!
I’ll be dropping a little Ted Lasso:
A tiny Sherlock Holmes:
Pattern for Sherlock is in my book Literary Yarns!
A mini Totoro:
My FREE Totoro pattern can be found here!
And a wee little Freddie Mercury:
Find one of these little buddies around London from 3/23-3/26 and it’s finders keepers!
If you’ve never followed my drops before, here’s what you need to know:
- Follow me on Instagram or Threads. Clues will be posted to both platforms.
- Set up a mobile alert on your phone! This isn’t required, but it’ll help! This way your phone will notify you every time I make a post, so you won’t miss a single drop! Instructions on how to set this up can be found here for Instagram and here for Threads.
- One critter will be dropped each day.
- Critters can be dropped indoors or outdoors, and will be in areas that are legally accessible. They will mostly be left in plain sight (ex. you shouldn’t have to dig through anything or open containers that shouldn’t be opened)
- If you find a critter, let me know that you found it! Please check in if you find a critter! Each one is tagged with a card with my contact info, I just ask for two things if you find one: 1) Send me a photo of your new friend, and 2) Let me know where the critter’s new home will be so I can add it to my map! I do this knowing that there’s a potential that anyone could swipe the critter and never get back to me, but it doesn’t make it any less disheartening when one goes missing.
No specific hints on where these little guys will be dropped, and I’ll drop them whenever the time and place feels right! Find one and it’s yours to keep! Happy hunting!
Pick your social media poison and join the hunt!
