Mandy's Candy Bag is a free pattern that I have designed in response to a bunch of requests after this post.
Thank you for urging me to go for it and try my hand at designing!
Of course, a contest is now in order!
The "Candy Bag" contest goes like this:
1. Knit the candy bag
2. Post a pic of your candy bag on your blog and let me know about it (with a link to the blog post!).
3. Your name will go into a drawing FIVE TIMES for some swag!
Don't want to knit Mandy's Candy Bag? That's okay! Put a link on your blog to this post so others can see the pattern, let me know about your link, and I'll enter your name ONCE for the swag. (If you link it, then knit it and link it again, you'll get SIX chances! - just tell me know so I know you did it!)
Deadline: Monday, September 3rd, 12:01am eastern standard time.

Thanks so much for the "Candy Bag" pattern. I'll be knitting it, but blogless. Wishing all the others good luck for the contest. Again, thank you. It is adorable.
Cute bag. Don't know as I'll have time for knitting it but I will be sure to leave a link on my blog.
Very cute ... love the colors!
You did a great job with the design.
I linked it on my blog and will be taking it with me to knit while on vacation.. so then I will have pics of it when I get back.
A designer too! Yay! I am so going to make this... thank you!!!
Thank you for the free pattern! It is so cute :)
I would love to knit this. I'll let you know when I've posted a pic to my blog :)
Thanks again!!
So cute! Thank you for the pattern. :)
Adorable! I have linked to you for this - and I nominated you as a Rockin Girl Blogger, dear. :) I love this pattern - I can't wait to try it!
That's adorable! I'd love to design something, your amazing!
I probably won't knit it now for the contest but will link to it.
I'll have to knit it later, I'm starting to gear up for the Knitting for Christmas-a-thon at my house. I have five months and so far only three people knitted for, whew a long way to go.
Adorable bag, and the colors look like candy.
I'm so glad to hear that Poppy is doing so well. Scary to see your baby like that - even if you know that they're going to be OK.
I am definately going to knit up that bag. I just happen to have some yummy cotton from my dishcloth swap partner sitting in my stash as we speak.
Cute bag! I'll link it now and hopefully knit it before September 3rd. Thanks!!
Hey I linked you on my blog and I will try to make this bag, we will have to see if we can make it by the deadline.
Okay, not good with the dpns from the start but you know I love the drawstring bags so I might have to give it a try. I definitely have Peaches N Cream or at least Sugar n Cream... hmmmm
As the lucky winner of the candy bag you had in your contest, it's fun to see you've written up the pattern for it!! I'm planning on knitting one, and hopefully in time for your new contest!
This is great fun!! :o)
so cute, clever you!
Hi -
I am trying to download the pattern as I type - apparently Adobe has been zapped from my computer - so am re-installing :)
I will post your contest on my blog :)
Happy knitting - I am looking forward to making your cute bag....
Adorable pattern! I'll be knitting it for sure. ;-}
The "promo" is up here:

Always love to meet knitters in NH :) Just checked my email - I am on ravelry - rhymeswithsocks. Your bag is really cute...I think I will knit it and post about it :) - Jenn (http://www.rhymeswithsocks.blogspot.com)
I'm all over it! Gotta go get some P&C today! Good for you, NHM. I'm proud of you.
Cute candy bag! And that is a contest I think even I can do. :) I'm really terriable at contests. I'm glad Poppy came though his sugery well! Hope he's doing good!
BTW, I tagged you for a meme today. I hope you will play!
hey! that's cute! I'd like to try to knit this, hopefully by the 9/3 deadline. I'll link your post when I blog tonite, I'm behind!
Love the bag! Glad to hear Poppy came through it all okay - we've had our share of tooth issues lately as well!
great bag and great contest. I am in!
Hi I linked your blog to mine. Hopefully I will try to make the bag. I really like it alot.
Hey, I can knit that! I have several balls of cotton yarn just waiting for something besides dish cloths.
What a cute little bag! I've downloaded the pattern. We'll see if I have time between now and Sept. 3 to participate. What a creative contest? Not a whiff of whore to it either. ;^)
will be leaving a link on my blog, and hope to knit one too!!! Actually I need a gift idea for an exchange and maybe knitting 10 of them!!
Thanks for checking in on me... I feel like I've dropped of the face of the earth myself!
I love the candy bag... I will link and knit! I need a little fun knit to get me out of my non-knitting rut!

Hi again Just wanted you to know I finished up my bag and posted it on my blog http://lovincomfortknits.blogspot.com
2 minor errors on the pattern so you know, no definition of ssk and no asterik in row 13 if you knit you can figure it out but a beginner might wonder, hope you don't mind me pointing it out!! Grace
I've finished the bag! The picture will be up in a few minutes on my blog. Thanks for the pattern.
the bag is so cute!! i've linked it on my blog and am knitting it up right now!! thanks for the pattern :)
Oooo! I gotta post a link to this. I will do it when I move back to Blogger, never fear.
I am thinking of making a mini one out of some bamboo that my SP10 Secret Pal sent me. How does that grab you?
I finished my first bag :)
http://barbn77.blogspot.com/2007/08/mandys-candy-bag.html
Thanks for the pattern it's really fun and a fast knit
very cute, I will definately be doing this and hopefully shipping it off to my knitting swap partner!
Cannot WAIT to knit this. I'm dragging out my leftover bamboo and making it TONIGHT. Who cares if I have no time to knit this evening?!
I'm hoping BD's grandmother is already mending and feeling better? So much has been happening with/to your clan of late. More prayers and good wishes headed your way...
You've been linked, m'dear! :-) Now...I need time to knit this cutie!!
Oh wow..how cute..I'm very new to knitting and on only my 2nd dishcloth, but save this pattern and hope to try it..Thanks for letting us have it :)
I linked your contest on my blog and I do plan to make at least one of these -thanks for the pattern!

http://purpleisafruit.blogspot.com/2007/08/redirecting-traffic.html
I knit 2 of them and will be makeing 2 more. I didnt have the pic with me though and kinda deviated when it came to where the cord went and couldn't remember if they had straps so I added straps too. I posted pictures on my blog.
I have just posted a link to your contest on my blog. I hope to get started on the bag this week. I will let you know when I post pics!!!!
The bag is adorable!! I've posted a link and am hoping to start knitting it tonight. :-)
How long is the icord? I'd like to do that before I start on the bag. Thanks!!
I finished one out of cottonease. It's the perfect size for a ball of cascade fixation! I had a beautiful ribbon that matched so I used that instead of the i-cord. Photos will go up on my blog momentarily- Thanks for the pattern!
cute little bag. will have to see what i have in my stash to knit it.
enter me once for linking you on my blog.
thanks
This bag is too cute! I think I'll knit it for my daughter. It can hold some treat for her, and then she'll have a little purse.
I left a link on my blog!
OK, I am in! I thought it was too late... :-))
BTW, I will be in Boston this weekend to attend the baseball game... I am not sure the Red Sox are actually playing this weekend - there will be two games in the row - but Hubby wanted to see the statium and it was the only time he could get tickets for the 4 of us sitting together... LOL
I hope I will have time for a little bostonian yarn crawling too... ;-)
The bag is so cute! :-)
I've linked to you, and I have cast on my Bag. :-)

Hi, Mandy! One of my friends, Star @ Nectarmay1, couldn't post a comment here (for some mysterious reasons) so she asked me to let you know that she made 2 Candy Bags and linked to your blog, and she would like to enter the contest.
Here is the link where you can see her bags.

Thank you! :-)

I wish I had seen this sooner. I don't knit, but I write a contest column on momsblogging.com and I bet there were people who would love to have joined in.
I want to learn to knit so badly! I'm trying to talk my mother-in-law into teaching me how.
Hi! Ilike the Mandy's Candy Bag. I tried to open the pattern but can't (guess my computer is too old?!) Is there another way I can obtain your pattern? I would like to make it. Thanks
A few minutes ago I sat here thinking about finding pattern for a goodie bag as I can`t buy them where I live. When I popped in this blog I found what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing. I`ll try to figure out how to link to your blog, but so far I haven`t figured out how to do it.
