As of Thursday night, I own a copy!
And I've knitted an elf hat!
Paddington heard me talking to The Professor about the hat and asked if he could model it.
"It's not going to fit you," I pointed out. "The elf hat is much too large for your head and will slip down over your eyes."
"How about if I wear it over my own yellow hat?" Paddington begged.
"I think it will still look too big and a little silly," I replied.
"Please, please, please, oh please, let me put it on anyway! I'll be just like a house elf!" he cried.
So I relented and said, "OK," and took his picture.
Paddington is very happy with the results, but I still think it looks like a little bear from Darkest Peru trying to appear much more grown up than he really is.
Well, it is sorta, kinda, cute, isn't it?
Silly Little Paddington
Oh he is so cute!

ReplyDeletePaddington could use the elf hat as a sleeping bag . . . Just a suggestion.
