Macro Mondays: Teddy Bear 17MAR25
Red Ted... that's his name. No, he's not a left wing agitator, he was a bear an aunty knitted for me when I was around 2 or 3. Some things you don't throw out. He had to go everywhere I went when I was very young. His eyes are buttons sewn on and they don't match. My granny knitted a jumper and trousers for him and my mum even made a tee shirt (this was not recent in case you are wondering).
Somewhere along life's journey, he lost his bottle green knitted trousers. Still has the tee shirt and the bunny pattern knitted jumper. Like me, he's pretty faded now and I needed flash to bring out some of his colour. Photographed in the garden of course... where we went round and round, like a...
No fabulously expensive toy with a designer label here, just a knitting pattern that was around in the 60s and as a child, I loved this bear. He has been sat around my room under some stuff for ages... this has brought back all sorts of memories. I should say a thank you to my Aunty Di.
Distance from his nose to the eye is just over 2 inches.
