I can't believe it's been a year already! To celebrate, I've decided to have a contest.
As you may remember, I designed and crocheted a summer bag a few weeks ago. I'm in the process of typing up the pattern but I'm at a loss for a name. Here's the bag:
All you have to do to be eligible to win a prize, is leave a comment with a suggestion for a name on this post by this Saturday (6-30) at midnight. I will award two prizes; one to the person whose suggestion I choose and one to a random winner.
What? You want to see the prizes? Okay, okay, here they are:
OnLine Supersocke 100, Color 770
Vogue Knitting On the Go, Socks Two
Now get thinking and give me some suggestions.
(edited to add: want to enter another contest? Go to Ali's blog and tell her how old you were when you started knitting and you could win some of Blue Sky Alpaca's new Suri Merino yarn. Make sure you tell her I sent you.)
Um this Saturday is 6/30 silly Noolie!
How about Summer Celery? Or Just Drivin' Around (since the stripe looks a bit like a road? or because its prefect for running around with!)

I suggest The Breeze Bag. Why? I don't know--the name just appeals to me.
Happy Blogiversary!
(I found you through Bookie's blog; this seemed like the perfect time to de-lurk!)
Posted by: Ann | Jun 28, 2007 at 10:05 AM
I suggest Cricket for the bag. No idea why that came to me, but it did.
Posted by: AuntieAnn | Jun 28, 2007 at 10:12 AM
How about Noolie's Got a Brand New Bag or Noolie's Bag (for short) ;-)
Happy Blogiversary...glad you're here!

It looks like 'Noolie's Boolie Bag'...er, seriously, it was the first thing popped in my head...
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!

No need to enter me in a contest, but I just had to suggest a name. :)
Maybe, Summer Sprout?
Or, Green Goddess?
Or, my favorite, Belina, b/c it reminds me a bit of a French market bag and the name is decidedly French. :)

Nessuna necessita al introdurre il mio nome - BORSA BELLA!

Posted by: Sara | Jun 28, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Hi Noolie!
I have a name....
The "Kesa" bag (with two dots over the a)
"Kesa" is the Finnish word for summer.
Happy Bloggiversary!! Hugs!
Posted by: Gina House | Jun 28, 2007 at 04:52 PM
Okay, how about 'Hooker's Summertime Fling'? :-)
Posted by: Mel | Jun 28, 2007 at 05:05 PM
Happy Blogiversary!!! I thought I had a bunch of names, but they have all fled my brain, the only one left is Celadon (love that color!). Mel's name cracks me right up!
Posted by: lisa | Jun 28, 2007 at 05:51 PM
How about Long Sands Beach Bag? Since I imagined you at Long Sands Beach crocheting away....
Happy Blogiversary!
Posted by: Brenda | Jun 28, 2007 at 06:00 PM

Happy Blogiversary!
How 'bout Sea Grass. I just like it.
Posted by: Susan | Jun 28, 2007 at 06:40 PM
Happy Blogiversary!!! I remember when you first started...gosh how grown up your blog is now! Make sure to have some cake.
I'm at a loss for bag names at the moment. But as soon as inspiration strikes, I'm allllll over it!

Posted by: Zonda | Jun 29, 2007 at 12:03 AM
Happy Blogiversary! Bag name hmm...how about Juniper Bag because of the green. Cute bag by the way.
Posted by: Ali S | Jun 29, 2007 at 12:34 AM
'the pistachio sack'
I love it...happy bloggiversary too! I must check out when mine is..I've been thinking of doing a prize post lately!
Posted by: Marianne | Jun 29, 2007 at 06:44 AM
Happy blogiversary! I don't have any suggestions, alas - maybe that's good, because I already have that cute book and I think some of the yarn. More goodness to go around to someone more creative. :)
Posted by: Chris | Jun 29, 2007 at 09:32 AM
Happy Blogiversary! Aren't knit bloggers wonderful?! The bag looks pale green on my monitor and because it's crocheted how about "Hooked on Celery"... okay, so I really need more coffee in order to be creative. Cheers!
Posted by: Heide | Jun 29, 2007 at 09:36 AM
How about the Knitty Noddy bag? Congrats on the big ONE! Many more happy years of blogging to you!
Posted by: Olga | Jun 29, 2007 at 09:37 AM
It's not terribly original, but how about "Bucket Bag"? Or some variation. It has that nice alliteration that the Booga Bag has and it fun to say.
Posted by: Nicole | Jun 29, 2007 at 09:50 AM
How about "Boardwalk" or the "Boardwalk Bag"?
Cool bag. Happy Blogiversary! :)
Posted by: Romi | Jun 29, 2007 at 10:16 AM
Ok, I really like Derby Day for a name, I can picture a lovely lady all dressed in crisp linen with a wide brimmed summer hat and this classy bag, ready to partake in the festivities of the Kentucky Derby. So there ya go, Derby Day.
Posted by: Tracey | Jun 29, 2007 at 10:32 AM
Happy Blogiversary! As for a pattern name, how about Spring Breeze?
Posted by: Carey | Jun 29, 2007 at 10:33 AM
happy blog day to you!
:-)
how about "Sea Foam" its has nice lovely look of the foam at an oceans edge. :-)
Posted by: Vikkie | Jun 29, 2007 at 10:41 AM
Oh this is difficult to name since there have been so many good suggestions before! Summer means fetes and fairs to me so I plump for Lucky Dip. Lucky because it was lucky that you created such a great bag and dip because it looks like the sort of bag you can dip into.
Posted by: mrspao | Jun 29, 2007 at 10:49 AM
CrocheTote or Noolie's Knitsac.
Happy Blogiversary and many, many more!
Posted by: Dana | Jun 29, 2007 at 11:03 AM
Bare it all! Don't ask why. I don't know either.
Happy blogiversary!
Posted by: Frarochvia | Jun 29, 2007 at 11:13 AM
Appletini, It is definitely an Appletini. Happy Blogiversary.
Posted by: Amy | Jun 29, 2007 at 12:41 PM
I'm going to suggest Haymarket Bag -- the green reminds me of a field, and the nice size of it makes me think it'd be perfect for marketing.
Happy blogiversary!
Posted by: Sarah | Jun 29, 2007 at 01:29 PM
Happy Blogiversary!
I'm thinking something edible.
Limealicous (my favorite)
Margerita
Mojito
Something like that?
Posted by: 5elementknitr | Jun 29, 2007 at 01:53 PM
Happy Blogiversary!!!
I don't know but the bag reminds me of lettuce, "Noolie's Summer Let Us Bag". Whew, I suck at this.
Posted by: Ken | Jun 29, 2007 at 02:09 PM
I'm going to go with "The Beach Walk Bag". Seems like the perfect thing for such an event. Happy Blogiversary!
Posted by: Jeanne | Jun 29, 2007 at 02:13 PM
Hiya! Happy Blogiversary! How about the Key Lime Pie Bag? It reminds me of delicious Key Lime Pie? Or just the Key Lime bag? Again, happy blogiversary!
Posted by: Erika | Jun 29, 2007 at 02:22 PM
The Moogie bag. The color of his eyes in the next post looks like the same green on my monitor as your sample (yet it won't affect anything if someone knits the bag in red or blue).
Posted by: Debby | Jun 29, 2007 at 04:32 PM
I have been watching and reading way too much Jane Austen this summer- so I'm going to suggest Emma or Fanny. It reminds me of the hats they wore. Good luck!
Posted by: Elspeth | Jun 29, 2007 at 04:47 PM
Happy Anniversary!
My suggestion, The Honeydew Bag (for the color and summery connotation).
Posted by: Jackie | Jun 29, 2007 at 06:52 PM
creme de menthe
Posted by: catsmum | Jun 29, 2007 at 06:56 PM
For some reason the name "Flossie" comes to mind.
Posted by: Megan | Jun 29, 2007 at 09:44 PM
Congratulations on your one year!!! The name that came to mind was Mint Julep - sophisticated and summery!
Melissa
Posted by: Melissa | Jun 29, 2007 at 10:45 PM
How about the Maine Bay Bag...It is a great looking bag Julie.
Louise
Posted by: louise | Jun 29, 2007 at 11:16 PM
Moogie. I love Moogie the cat and want to squoosh him. So I think he should have a bag named after him. The next one will be Rico. And then I'm open to a Peaches. But this one is a Moogie.
Posted by: Sheepish Annie | Jun 30, 2007 at 03:11 PM
Happy B-Versary!! How about Willow Bag?
Posted by: kitkatknit | Jun 30, 2007 at 04:32 PM
