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!

Comment by wendy on September 1, 2009 at 9:50pm: I just went thru my sent e-mails, and found I submitted the photo on the 23rd of August, I also sent a BCC to myself, (always do when it is something important) and it is there, so I'm not sure what happened. Because I do not have a confirmation e-mail. :o( phooey! AND Cheryl, what are you talking about when you say "post our pictures now or wait?" ? I really am confused. But I really am anxious to see all the entries!!! Wendy

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 1, 2009 at 9:09pm: Angela, are we supposed to post our pictures now or are we supposed to wait?

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 1, 2009 at 8:50pm: I'm sorry I meant today is when they started sending confirmation. So I would check with KP.

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 1, 2009 at 8:49pm: Oh, I misunderstood. If you don't get a confirmation I would contact KP. They didn't start sending emails until yesterday when we asked about it.

Comment by whimsymoon on September 1, 2009 at 8:23pm: Thanks Cheryl! I sent in my entry on the 25th of August....I just never got a confirmation. I was wishing that I had thought to worry about this yesterday, because then I could have re-sent the pics!

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 1, 2009 at 8:11pm: I think if you don't get a confirmation tomorrow sometime, you might contact Angela.

Comment by Kim Payne on September 1, 2009 at 7:56pm: I didn't receive an email confirmation of my entry. I sent the photo in on August 16th. Should I be worried?

Comment by cherylbwaters on September 1, 2009 at 7:50pm: whimsymoon, I'm so sorry you missed the deadline because your little Ms. Foster is so cute.
