I love the red bag and would wear it with many outfits, because red is my favorite color! Red just screams Me-Me-Me! Then everyone would be jealous and ask where I got it, but I would never tell, just to keep them thinking. haha
Since learning to knit I have NEVER EVER made anything for myself. The scarves, afghans, bags, mittens have gone to relatives and friends who love and appreciate them. My washcloths and hats have gone to Homes for the Elderly and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia chemo unit. Everytime I look to start something new I say “this time it’s for me” but somehow it finds its way out the door. I would adore these bags and would consider it an honor to make and wear them! Thanks
I am newly married; fun, flat broke and fabulous! I would love to have this FAB purse to wear with Capri’s, a tee and cute sandals! Now I would look smashing with this bag on my arm. So pick me-me-me!!!!! Plus my B-Day is on April 17th 🙂
I’m working on a Noni Market bag right now and I’m am quickly becoming addicted! I would love make one of these to carry…well…everywhere! I am a bag addict and must have every beautiful one I see!
I adore that little red bag! The shape is precious & I would love to wear it with – EVERYTHING! With my jeans or with black slacks, it would really be cute to make & carry around.
I’ve been looking for a cute red purse everywhere… and there it is in the photo! I would love to make this myself and carry it with me everywhere; to work, an evening out, shopping…. It would be perfect with a smart suit, jeans and flats, or a flirty summer dress! Delightful!
I’ve been looking for a chance to finally start knitting! I want to start making things for myself and my family, but I’m not sure where to start, and this would be a great opportunity for me. I would wear one of those purses with a white T-shirt and jeans and a simple pair of handmade earrings. With an accessory like that, you want to make the purse the center of attention!
Love the red one! I’m in the Red Hats, so it would be perfect to carry with my red hat. I’ve just started knitting bags and would love to add this one to my repertoire!
I always love a new challenge and subsequently need this pattern to fill that need.
I would make one to go with my jeans… because ANYTHING goes with jeans… HEHEHE.

I live in a 30 foot RV so space is very tight for doing crafts. I just started knitting again as it doesn’t require much space. I can felt at the laundromat. I have had to give away most of my clothes and purses, so this one would be fabulous with my jeans, and everyone at the park would be envious. Red is one of my favourite colours as our flag is red and white (Canadian eh). It would be just perfect and would shout ME, ME, ME.
Love the purses and love to felt. I think they would go with many outfits, but with such a cute purse I might need a new outfit to go with it!!!!!
I love the Pretty In Pink (or is that Raspberry?!) bag. This purse is so Me Me Me! I would love to have the pattern too. It has that “dress me up or dress me down” attitude
Thank you for this opportunity. I am excited!!
I love the shape of the pink bag in front, I can see wearing it with jeans or with my black Pendleton jacket and houndstooth pants (or one of many other outfits). But I like the red bag on the left almost as much. I’d love to make one of these for myself because I’m always making and selling or giving away what I make. I seldom keep anything for myself and I’m crazy about bags. My favorite bag at the moment is red and needs to be retired.
i love each of the purses, but my favorites are the red and hot pink.
the red is such a great holiday color for valentines, july 4th, and christmas, but it would go with some many outfits from casual to dressy……the hot pink is just very classy looking.
i would love to try making one, and thank you for the chance to win.
I love to red best.
I really need a bag for me-me-me, because I have been carrying my old favorite backpack as a diaper bag for the past 20 months. On the rare occasion I go out alone I need something cute. These bright colors are perfect for my typical uniform of dark skirt, white top, and scarf or big jewelry. Love the shpaes!
I absolutely LOVE the red bag, although the pink one is nice too. I’d wear it with boots, jeans and my embroidered jean jacket. I would look so cool.
I’m having some medical problems right now, and it’s tough to be optimistic. A smashing red bag like that would shout that I am a winner and I deserve it. It would be focusing on ME-ME-ME in a positive way, instead of in a negative way.
Hot Pink for a Hot Me, or that’s how I’d feel if I was carrying that FABULOUS bag! I’ve just moved 7,000 miles and am looking to make a new place for myself: new job, new friends, new life. A hot little number like that would go a long way in giving me the confidence to dive in.
WOW! The red bag is smashing. If I had the chance to make one, I’d carry it along the entire summer…through every province of The Netherlands.
I want it just for me…
it would brighten my dark outfit
it would bring sunshine when it rains
it would bring an eternal smile on my face
and just because I always care for others
this would be perfect for me… to share sweets from :-))
I want the pattern for Me-Me-Me,
As selfish as that sounds.
I think it would make me hip as can be,
My friends I would astound.
I’d wear it with jeans, and with a dress,
I’d look so very chic,
No one would think I looked a mess,
I’d no longer look so meek.
If I were sporting the bag in red,
People would stop and stare,
And I would turn every head,
Because I’d look so rare.
So please pick me, I want to win,
The pattern, the yarn and the frame,
Wanting to own it is no sin,
So please select my name.
I don’t which one is my favorite…they’re all gorgeous! Whichever one…I would carry it everywhere with everything! This would be one of the few things I would keep for myself. I have a serious handbag obsession.
Hugs!
It would be the red one….cause I could then wear it with purple. What would I wear it with? Everything and anything! Felted bags are very versatile and go well with jeans and dressy outfits both.
ooh! lovely bags! i’m currently in my 9th month of pregnancy with baby #3- able to fit into about 4 hideously huge and plain outfits, and would LOVE to have one of (any of) those bags to wear with my “normal” clothes, as soon as i fit back into them! i have a great swing skirt from india (maroon with salmon and pink batik all over and little mirrors around the hem) and a salmon colored cotton blouse to go with it that i can’t wait to get back into! something fun and feminine, instead of lots of dull black maternity knits with a hint of lycra.
WoW! What an opportunity. My rebirth into knitting has come with a desire to work with the most luxurious yarns and passionate designers. Only since I have rediscovered knitting have I made time for myself, and I have promised myself it’s time to make something personal. These bags would be just the thing. I recently heard a podcast interview with Nora Bellows and since have saved my pennies to take a workshop with her this summer. I would like to select a lovely Noni pattern, and need to buy the yarn and hardware in advance, and what better than this new, spring collection and you and your sponsors’ very generous offer?
Lol, like so many others here who are just flat broke, as our gas tanks continue to suck our yarn allowances, i would be so appreciative to have this beautiful bag to knit and welcome in the spring/summer season! I state this as it is april 18th and snowing! Aside from the fact that our lawn has been mowed already 3 times this spring, the flowers and gardens are planted, and my birthday is just a few days away….it is snowing! These bags are so beautiful and spring like, i am in desperate need of a fix! Beautiful really, even if i am not picked!
I looove the shaping on the pink bag! It’s a little funky, a little feminine… just right! I’ve not yet made a Noni bag, but I’ve been a longtime admirer. This one is just the ticket! Pick me-me-me!!!!
I’d love to win the red bag since this year has been all about Them-Them-Them and I haven’t had a minute for Me-Me-Me. I am the sandwich generation. I work full-time, I’m the primary care-giver for my mother who is in her 90’s and starting to decline and have cognitive issues, and have a daughter who just turned 20. I feel so overwhelmed most of the time, I haven’t gone shopping in eons or treated myself to a new anything in forever.
If I win the bag, I would make it and wear it with everything and feel wonderful. It could change my life :-).
Yeesh – it sounds like I’m whining, but you did ask.
The bags look awesome! I would love to win this kit just because I have never made a bag on a frame before. I would actually carry the red bag, I have a lot of scrubs and shirts with red in it.
I really like the red bag. I’d love to win! Thank you for the chance.
Must have this pattern and yarn because a knitter can never have enough of either! Love these purses – that pink one would be cute with a little black dress.
I just have to have that red bag… it’s just me! I’m the type of girl who wants to dress up nice and be all fancy, but really can’t because everyone who knows me would wonder what I’m doing (“What’s wrong with Timiae? Why is she trying to be something that she isn’t?”)… I’m a farm girl and am very practical, but do love fashion at the same time. The red bag is perfect… it’s nice, frilly, and would look amazing with jeans and a nice shirt and heels or with a dressy dress! It’d be the perfect accessory to add to play up what I’m wearing without freaking everyone out too much; a good way to introduce myself to the style that I crave. It would really change my fashion life if I could make it.
I love these patterns! I’ve always been and still am a fashion slouch. I’ve been knitting for 3 years, but still haven’t made the leap to letting knitting help my fashionability–that’s where this contest comes in! Lately, my only accessories have been my 17-month old baby’s mac and cheese hand prints on my jeans… I’m starting to reclaim a little bit of space for myself and this pattern would be the perfect accompaniment to it. 🙂
Oooh – I would look so cool or maybe it’s hot with the red bag. I am a college student, have very limited funds, and don’t get to buy many great accessories like this.
Hey – I could walk around with a sign every time I wear it telling people where they can order one just like this. You’d be paid back in free advertising in no time. 🙂
Oh to make and have something so nice like one of these for Me Me Me ,but no i would love to be able to make and give one of these to the lady who helps me a couple hrs each week with my MIL to give me a break, i appreciate the time she gives us and it would be nice to give back. More than just the odd dishcloth or hat mostly from recycled or thrift shop finds.. As with a lot of people our budget doesnt go far..One could dress up or dress down and still use these bags .
I have a pair of shoes that match the pink/fuschia bag! That makes it perfect for me, me, me!
Also, I have tons of red already in my wardrobe!
I love this pattern! I am getting ready for a trip to Africa and would love to make one to give to paul Rusesabegina’s wife as a thank you for all they have done and are doing.
I love to knit. My mom taught me when I was on sick in bed for 6 months when I was 9. I am much better now and I still knit alot.
I would really love to win the red purse for Me-Me-Me. I had chemo a couple of years ago, and while thankfully my hair is back, there are still bald spots which will evidently always remain. I feel very self-conscious. If I had the red bag, I would carry it all the time since it would move the focus from my head to the purse and so I would welcome the stares.
I need this because I am obsessed with bags. I love the Noni line but have not yet made one. I would wear the red with everything, red is hot, every girl needs a hot red bag to make her feel great!!!!
Just love the cute shapes of these bags! They would go quite well with my new white capris and my favorite striped top! I would have to say that the red one is my favorite.
I deserve this right now because I have been working 80 hour weeks to get my new online business going. Knitting is the way I release stress and I really need a small, fun project that I can work on to get rid of all this tension!!! What better way than with a Noni pattern and some beautiful fibers. 🙂 It would make me smile every time I carry it!
I love these bags. I think I would make the red – I adore the shape and color. I would carry it with almost everything! I have never made a bag for myself.
I would love to have this bag for myself. Life is now very down and depressing. Nothing like a little red bag to make and get the spirits up.
I need this because I never make anything for me.I would make the orange bag because since I was 19,every year I have to have one piece of clothing or accessory that is orange.Have to.Orange just perks me up and makes me happy.
these bags would be pefect for my tools on the construction jobsite. sure most of the guys will call me a “Miss Nancy”, but hey i’ll have the last laugh with these stylish toolbags.PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE consider me!
Yummy !!!!!!!!!! Please put my name in the pot. the girl in the next office would be soooo jealous…..and at my age a pocketbook is about the only reason someone would be jealous!! Plus I have a big stash of alpaca fiber that would look good done up in these too cute bags.
I would make this bag for my best friend. She would use it and cherish it. I would learn something new by making it and I love using and learning about new yarn. I on the other hand would need to make it ten times larger to use it.
I absolutely must have one of these bags to go with my simple long jean skirt, light linen white blouse, and minimalist lucite orange bracelets. Then only the bag would stand out as I walk the beach or local farmer’s market, or downtown waterfront. Please send it my way, It’s an incomplete outfit without it…
It would be so sweet to get this! I would knit it up and keep it all for ME!!! I would love to try the yarn! The patterns looks so awesome! It would so look great with a pair of jean capris and some aweseome top for a spring/summer flare. It would look awesome too with some dressed up favorites of mine!
LOVE the patterns. I have the perfect shirt to go with it too and a nice pair of jeans and black ballet flats………..oh yeah!!!! That would be cool!!! Thanks for holding the contest!!!
The Red One because Tom and I were married on Valentines Day. I could wear it on our Anniversary with a sexy black dress and because red goes with most everything. I would use the purse often and knitted items are so special both I and my hubby are knitters we have knitted bags together like the booga bag so we would both be very excitted if I won:)Hugs Darcy Airforce wife and knitter and mother of 4 and grandmother of 1
