Mr. Foster Halloween costume contest!

Mr. Foster likes to plan ahead. It's only July, but he's already wondering what he should wear for Halloween this year.

He thought you guys might be willing to help him out. So here's your mission from Knit Picks and Mr. F, if you choose to accept it-

1. Create a handmade Halloween costume for Mr. Foster using yarn or fabric. Store bought accessories are okay. You are allowed to base your costume on an existing Mr. Foster ensemble, you can get those patterns here for only $4.99 if you don't already have them (the monkey pattern is included too).

2. E-mail a photo of your creation to contests@knitpicks.com before August 31st.

3. Help Mr. Foster pick a winner. In early September, we'll post our favorites, and you can vote for the winner.

4. Check back October 1st when the winner will be announced. We'll also post a slideshow of all of the entries we received.

The winner will get a special Halloween treat from Knit Picks, no tricks, we promise!

I too sent a copy to my e-mail and it came through just fine, but I did this the first time and that one came through just fine then also. I don't know. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Wendy

Not this time either! Hopefully they got them!
Hugs!

Comment by Kim Payne on September 3, 2009 at 2:02pm: No, I haven't received a confirmation this 2nd time either! I sent a copy to myself and received it just fine so I'm hoping everything's O.K.

Comment by wendy on September 3, 2009 at 1:04pm: Hi Kim and Angela J.

Have you received a confirmation e-mail from knitpicks acknowledging they received your 2nd submission of your photos?

Wendy

Comment by wendy on September 2, 2009 at 11:23pm: Thanks Kim for passing this on to others, and thank you Angela for letting those of us who had already submitted our photos to re-submit them again. I know I am really looking forward to seeing the entries from both Whimsymoon and Kim, as they are so talented. Wendy

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 2, 2009 at 8:32pm: Kim, I knew Angela would come up with a solution!

Comment by Kim Payne on September 2, 2009 at 7:49pm: I received an email reply from Angela today. I never received a confirmation email and I submitted my photo on August 16th. She said that if you didn't get a confirmation email they didn't receive your entry. So she told me to tell anyone else who didn't get a confirmation to resubmit their entry photo to contests@knitpicks.com. I sent mine in again.

Comment by wendy on September 1, 2009 at 10:34pm: Do you mean post them under the share your pictures of mr f discussion? I know I have lots to share - from vacation and other things. I hope other people have lots to share too. I just love looking at all the other Mr. Fosters and seeing how they are so different and what they are up to! It always makes my day when people post their pictures of him. I know, I know, - I am either crazy or really addicted to these monkeys! Probably both ;o) Wendy

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 1, 2009 at 10:07pm: Wendy, Angela just said today that confirmation emails went out today. So if you don't receive anything tomorrow and are concerned you might contact KP.

I thought Angela mentioned something about waiting to post our pictures after the submission deadline. I might be wrong.
