Road kill?

Side comment: My desktop computer is acting so darned slow lately that I've started to dread even trying to use it. I've asked Santa to get the computer to an Apple shop for a good housecleaning. If I know Santa, he'll come through for me. I'm sure I've got tons of stuff stored on it that could be done away with for a faster-operating machine.

Anyway, the first photo here does somewhat resemble road kill, doesn't it? As I was knitting it, Ken first asked if I was making a glove. I guess he thought the dangly parts must be fingers. It would take a strange hand to fit into this as a glove, though.

When I said no, it wasn't a glove, he then asked, "A cow?"

I guess he now thought the dangly parts were teats.

I refused to tell him what it was until it was finished.

As you can see, it became a teddy bear. Not a very sophisticated teddy bear, I know, but a bear nonetheless.

The pattern is from here, and it's quite an ingenious design.

I made the teddy and his sister for two little children, ages 2 and 5. At first I'd planned to give them each one of the lambs, shown in the header, but after actually knitting a lamb or two, and their clothing, I decided they were too much work to put into the hands of small children. I predict the clothing would have been lost almost immediately.

So I decided on these simple teddy bears. I added an A for "Aiden" and a J for "Juliet," to save the trouble of having to squabble over which teddy is whose.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
