Gregory: Lion Brand was brilliant in helping me out. More than you might ever know. They were not only generous with their yarn, but with their time and advice, which can be more valuable than cash. I’m forever grateful to them for input, and their yarn. I’ve knit up over 1,000 bears in the last two years.

Gregory: I would call the difficulty of the project moderate. If you have a handle on the use of double pointed needles, then this is an easy pattern. You can have this bear finished in less than 5 hours. If you’ve not had much experience with DPNs, it may seem a little more difficult. In MythBusters episode 52– " Mind Control", the idea of painting a room with explosives placed in a tin of paint, as seen in " Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean", was tested and deemed impossible as adequate coverage was not achieved. [64] An image of Mr. Bean grinning mischievously has been used as an internet meme for highlighting sexual double entendres, usually accompanied by the statement "If you know what I mean." [65] In Tetsuo Hara and Buronson's manga Souten no Ken, a parody of Mr. Bean can be found. [66] See also a b c "Atkinson has Bean there and he's done with that".

Lorna: What level of difficulty would you call this project? How long does it take you to knit a bear? This story has 3 teddy bear saviors: a famous TV teddy, a romantic gift, and a pattern that saved a man from homelessness.

He then falls asleep continuing to play the note. A dream sequence of the opening scene of the film Chariots of Fire shows the characters running across a beach, though Mr. Bean dreams he is running with them. He begins to fall behind, until he hails a car to overtake all the others. Now running in front, Bean ensures he wins the race on the beach by tripping one of the runners trying to overtake him, whereupon he crosses the line with elation, and then wakes up. Finding that the rest of the orchestra have stopped playing while he continued his one recurring note, Bean, with encouragement from Rattle, plays an extended flourish and lastly touches a note that makes a flatulent sound then stops.

Recreating a sentimental item requires getting it just right. First, I knit a bear directly from the pattern to understand how to change it. I used the lovely wool/alpaca blend from Nashua called Snowbird in natural for my friend’s new baby boy. Second, I knit Mr Bean’s bear in Berroco’s Ultra Alpaca wool/alpaca blend in potting soil mix, using some undyed Malabrigo Merino Worsted wool for the hands. Just a few little shape changes made him a pretty dead ringer for Mr Bean’s bear, don’t you think?

One of Bean's earliest appearances occurred at the " Just for Laughs" comedy festival in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1987. When programme coordinators were scheduling him into the festival programme, Atkinson insisted that he perform on the French-speaking bill rather than the English-speaking programme. Having no French dialogue in his act at all, programme coordinators could not understand why Atkinson wanted to perform on the French bill instead. As it turned out, Atkinson's act at the festival was a test platform for his character and he wanted to see how his character's physical comedy would fare on an international stage with a non-English speaking audience.

Lorna: I can appreciate your analogy with crochet amigurumi. Knitting can seem so much more mysterious than crochet, but you’re right–increasing and decreasing are skills that go far. It’s comforting to hear that when you knit because you have to, your bears turn out worse, because the same thing happens to me!
