Tiny Bunnies Movement

I was reading a forum on Ravelry.com one day about yarn-bombing, and I stumbled across a group called the "Tiny Bunnies Movement". From the moment I entered their page, I knew this was a perfect group for me-three of my loves, bunnies, yarn, and amigurumi, all rolled into one! So, now that I've placed a few buns myself and got some more waiting to make someone smile, I figured a blog would be a good summer project to get myself more active both as a writer and a crocheter. 

So, I guess I should say something about myself? I'm Bunii, and I'm an English major in MA; I was a bio major for about a year, and while I still maintain a passion for the biology field, I realized that my true calling is in writing. And leaving small bunnies everywhere, but we'll get to that. I have two (male) cats, Moose and Squirrel, and if you don't get the reference then you must not have had a childhood. :P

Anyway, that's enough about me for now.You're probably wondering what the Tiny Bunnies Movement is-basically, we crochet/knit teeny tiny stuffed bunnies, and leave them out in public for people to find and keep. Everyone has their own preferred pattern and method, not to mention the variety of tags that people attach, so no two bunnies are the same. Personally, I like the Bunnies Attack pattern; it's quick, easy and only takes a little bit of yarn to make. Right now my tags are simply cut up index cards with messages written on them, but I'm hoping that will change at some point. 

If you want to know more about the Tiny Bunnies Movement and/or get involved, there's quite a few different ways to do it: like us on Facebook, join the group on Ravelry (you need an account to join groups), or simply follow this or any blog that participates.
