Bagsmith generously supplied thisBlissa Elephant kit after I mentioned that a reader had asked where she could get the stuffed elephant pattern pictured in their Fall ad. At Stitches Midwest, Bagsmith had Blissa the Elephant in their booth, and she's a nice, big stuffed animal to squeeze! It would be perfect for a kid of any age, particularly a toddler who would love something big (to them) and soft to carry around.
If you wish to make a sophisticated sweater or accessory, the kit comes with the Blissa Pattern Book, including stylish sweaters, vests, hat and cowls!
The Blissa yarn is lush, luxurious Italian yarn and knits up at a bulky gauge (the Bagsmith calling card!). It's 85% Baby Alpaca, 10% Extra-fine merino and 5% polymide and the kit includes three skeins!
To take home Blissa, please enter a comment about your favorite Bagsmith pattern, tool, book or yarn, and we'll pick the winner by Random Number generator on Tuesday. Three more winners will receive Knitcircus Fall Pattern Collections.
For all of you in the States, have a fun, safe and fiber-y holiday!
I'd have to call this elephant pattern my favorite! My adorable granddaughter would love it! Her room has an elephant theme, so it would be perfect. Thanks!

That elephant pattern is the best. Hands down.

I'm completely enamored with the selection of lovely scissors. Using beautiful tools adds so much to the experience of handwork!
But having said that, I'm soooooo hoping that elephant pattern comes homes to me, it is just adorable!
