   I would love to add my name to the draw if Canadians may. I suspect I would be making the bag for more than one person among my family and friends, but the first person would be my cousin’s son because he starts school surprisingly soon.

3. Cathy on March 24, 2008 11:05 am

   I would make and give this to my great niece who would love it and very much appriciate it.

   I would love to make this beautiful pattern for myself so that I can carry some knick knacks around and even my lunch on days I work day shift. Please pick me! That would rock!

6. Linda F. on March 24, 2008 1:07 pm

   I would probably give it to my daughter, the school teacher!

7. Bethany on March 24, 2008 4:05 pm

   I look at that lunch bag and think of my daughter going to school in a couple years…time flies so fast!

   Thanks, Bethany

   I would make this bag for my sister because she has a heart of gold. She is ALWAYS making things for everyone else but herself. I would love to surprise her! This would no doubt bring a tear to her eye.

9. Cherylann on March 24, 2008 5:55 pm

   Pick me please. I would dearly love to make one of these for my niece who is turning 13.

10. Lulu on March 24, 2008 6:47 pm

    Love the lunch bag !! This would be one for me. Its great that you are doing these contests !!

11. Sonya on March 24, 2008 8:02 pm

    Wow! Gosh!
    Love this giveaway!!
    What a wonderful pattern. I would like to make this lunch bag for my sister whose 10th year wedding anniversary is coming next month.

12. Writer on March 25, 2008 6:59 am

    What a great pattern! I just recently went back to work after a 20 year absense from the work force and this bag would be sooo handy. Thanks for offering this.

13. Pam on March 25, 2008 8:41 am

    I would probably give this one to my neighbor, actually, I’d make 2 - one neighbor who is seeking a job (she has a husband who is blind and needs benefits and to find a job away from him so they don’t make eachother too nutsy) and another who has a job miles away - he could then pack whatever his wife wishes him to eat (nice and healthy) and live a long time

14. Leslie Goldenberg on March 25, 2008 8:51 am

    I have three kids who take lunch to school every day in a brown bag. I’m sure that if I made personal felted bags, they would love them and use them…and we could save some trees by stopping the brown bag habit.

15. Andi on March 25, 2008 9:12 am

    My little sis just got her first “big girl job” as I’ve been calling it… and she is working really hard to lose weight besides. I would definately make this for her so she would have a fashionable pouch to carry all her healthy nibbles in.

    I would use it for sure! I am diabetic and I need to carry a “chip monk” bag with my supplies, Glucerena and Orange Juice, and other snacks for diabetic emergency’s. Dr says I just have it with me at all times in case sugar goes too low. This looks like a beautiful bag to carry..and to knit. I have had other Noni patterns, beautiful!

    Thank you,

17. Teresa Chapman on March 25, 2008 10:18 am

    I would make them for
    my two daughters Kelly and Katie 7 & 5 years of age. I fell in love with
    Noni’s Patterns and have picked up knitting for the first time since I was
    around age 13 ( I’m 45 now)  Nora excited my interest in trying knitting
    once again.  I was so excited once I learned
    of her patterns I went out and bought 6 skeins of
    yearn for the project “In the Sculpture Garden”.

18. Andrea Childers on March 25, 2008 11:03 am

    I would love to make this for my 5 year old who will be going to all day kindergarten in the fall. That should give me enough time to finish it, being a new knitter with 3 little ones underfoot.

19. -Cougar1 on March 25, 2008 1:05 pm

    Oh how darling! Something better than a plain paper bag to take my lunch in…just what I need! I would love to make one of these! ~Tricia

20. Kim on March 25, 2008 5:27 pm

    My neighbor is just venturing out into the world again after recovering from a stroke. She is going to a “daycare” while her daughter is at work. They bring a sack lunch. I know she’d take a great deal of pride in carrying in this bag. Thanks for the chance and good luck to all

21. Sharon on March 25, 2008 7:11 pm

    WoW - what a wonderful give-away! It’s a perfect give for my daughter as she travels the highways with her work and also to the wonderful ski trails in Idaho!

23. Cathy Leonard on March 26, 2008 7:19 pm

    My daughter works long hours counseling juvenile delinquents. She rarely takes the time to eat lunch, so I would make this bag for her as an encouragement to take care of herself first and not skip lunch.
    Thanks. This is a great prize!
    Cathy

24. Gladys on March 27, 2008 10:30 am

    What a lovely bag! I’d make it for myself, because I’m trying to bring lunch more often.

25. Josiane on March 27, 2008 10:59 am

    It’s a lovely lunch bag! I think I’d first make one for myself, and then I’d make a fun version for my nephew who will be starting school in September.

26. J. Denae on March 27, 2008 11:31 am

    I would love to knit that for myself!! I am in the middle of a divorce and while my co-workers will be eating out almost every day I need to be more careful with my cash so I’ll be brown-bagging it… or pretty felted-bagging it if I win!!

27. Terri D. on March 27, 2008 12:07 pm

    Sweet bags! Iwould make one for me, me, me because I just started a new job, and I haven’t had a lunch bag since I was in grade school.

28. Amy on March 27, 2008 12:56 pm

    I have fallen in love with Noni designs! My first thought when I saw this is that it would make wonderful end of the year gifts for my children’s teachers! It is always nice to be able to give them something handmade. I believe that I have several people who would receive these bags as gifts.

29. edina on March 27, 2008 1:21 pm

    I would make lunch bags for friends and their kids and probably one for myself, too!

30. Elaine on March 27, 2008 1:55 pm

    I would make it for my mother for her birthday in April. She will be 93 and is still very active. She is very environmentally concerned and so brings her lunch in a recyclable bag when she goes on day trips with her senior group. Wouldn’t she be classy with this bag?

31. Kenyetta on March 27, 2008 2:06 pm

    I would love to make this bag. I need to lose weight and I really need to start packing lunch, so it would inspire me, at least for a while.

32. Laura on March 27, 2008 2:08 pm

    I would love to win this lunch bag! I think all the Noni bags are cute and cleverly designed.

    If I won this bag, I would used it to carry my lunch to work. I’m trying to do that instead of buying lunch. Having such a cute bag would motivate me to pack my lunch. That way, I can save money (for more yarn and Noni patterns, of course) and eat more healthily.

33. Sarah Rehagen on March 27, 2008 3:21 pm

    I’d love to make this pattern for my 8 year old daughter. Her friends are
    moving out of the Princess & High School Musical decorated lunch bags. Now
    she wants something “cooler.” She would love to have a bag that no one else
    has and I would love to make it.

34. turvid on March 27, 2008 3:47 pm

    This must be the perfect bag for my mom.

35. heatherly on March 27, 2008 5:59 pm

    iwould make this for my daughter, who is going away to work at an orphanage in africa. i could put lunch notes in it and when she packs for her day she could still have lunch with me…even if i am sleeping in another hemisphere

36. Sharon Rose on March 27, 2008 6:07 pm

    I would make this for my Aunt Joan. She used to knit and loves knit things but gave it up since it “causes to much stress” (I know, I know, but I can’t change her mind). Anyway, she just GAVE ME A CAR because she knew I needed one desperately and she just got a new ride. This would be an awesome thank you for her.

37. Jackie on March 27, 2008 6:55 pm

    My husband is a social worker at a local school. Since he is a big guy, he has been assigned some of the toughest schools to work with. I’d love to make one of these bags for a kid in his area. Most of them don’t have much. Those bags are CUTE!

38. Kim on March 27, 2008 7:51 pm

    I’ve tried a couple of unsuccessful felting projects and came looking for advice. I would love to actually make something that I loved! This is an incredible bag! So, I’d be making it for me…not noble…I’d just love to give felting another go! Thanks.

39. Rachel O on March 27, 2008 8:46 pm

    My mom entered your contest and said that she would like to make it for her mother, but I would love to win it and make it for my mom. She’s had serious medical problems and brings her lunch because she can only eat certain things. I’d love her to have something wonderful like this bag to help her feel better and bring a ray of sunshine into her life.

40. Bianca on March 28, 2008 5:33 am

    I hope Europeans are allowed to enter: I would make the bag for my daughter if I had the chance. She is a complete bag-a-holic

41. Turtle on March 28, 2008 7:36 am

    What a cute bag design! I just relocated to a new day spa and pack my lunch daily! (as well as daughter and hubbys) They already have lunch bags/coolers. Me? I usually just stick it in my purse and make it fit. This would be so great! Enjoy your weekend, hopefully spring has arrived for you.

42. purple on March 28, 2008 8:16 am

    I would love to win and make it for my oldest childhood friend. We have been friends for more than 50 years and she has always been there for me when times were tough. I’d love to make her this bag to tell her I love her for being her and I know she would cherish it.

43. tantej on March 28, 2008 12:16 pm

    OMG! I have three of Noni’s bag patterns and Love. Them. All. I know the noble thing to do would be to make it for a dear friend who has been so, so good to me. Then again, nobility may be overrated and I could keep it for myself

44. Jen on March 28, 2008 5:03 pm

    That’s a lovely pattern. I’d make it for myself because I am a shamelessly selfish knitter.

45. Angela on March 28, 2008 6:40 pm

    cute pattern! i would definitely knit it for my mom, who desperately needs a cute bag!
    thanks for offering the contest!

46. Jersey Jessie on March 28, 2008 7:45 pm

    Oooh - my sister just told me about the contest. I definitely love it.

    I really would make it for my mom who could really use some cheering up - it’s been a tough year! And then maybe I could borrow it sometimes

47. Ilissa H. on March 28, 2008 10:02 pm

    Cute lunch bag. I definately could use this. I need to start taking my lunch more often.

48. Janice on March 28, 2008 10:41 pm

    I would make it for my son and me. It would be perfect to take snacks and a drink to the zoo or playground.

49. Annette on March 29, 2008 7:59 am

    I discovered crochet and knit felting just after Christmas. I am now addicted. I am a substitute teacher and love showing off what I have made. I would make the bag for my self for my lunches.

50. blogless in NJ on March 29, 2008 3:36 pm

    What a great bag!

    I volunteer at a National Wildlife Preserve and we do a lot of environmental education and outreach. I’d love to make this and show people that they can have a very attractive reusable (and therefore environmentally friendly) lunch bag that is fun (for kids), hip (for teens), and trendy for those adults for which that matters.

51. Nina Levine on March 29, 2008 4:00 pm

    I wold love this pattern so that I could raffle the lunchbag off to my second grade students. They earn raffle tickets for going “above and beyond” in effort and in acts of kindness. I taught all my student to knit this year(we made our own knitting needles)and they love it! I have made 5 different Noni bags so far and my students love seeing the before felting and after felting difference. I think that raffling off this lunchbag would be highly motivating for my students and a super fun knitting project for me. Thank you for this fun contest!

52. artinreality on March 29, 2008 5:38 pm

    I would love to make this for a friend of mine who recently started a new job. It’s being a bit of a challenge for her, and I am hoping that a cheerful lunch would give her a boost every day!

53. Jan on March 30, 2008 2:34 am

    I would make the lunch bag for myself. I have been off work for aproximately 2 years and have recovered from a neurological disease and breast cancer. I used knitting as part of my therapy. I have never felted before but think its a cool thing. I am anxious to try.

54. Linda Lanese on March 30, 2008 3:25 am

55. Robin in VA on March 30, 2008 9:53 am

56. WMK on March 31, 2008 10:33 am
