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!

It's going to be bumpy ride getting him into spandex, but at least I have the boa picked out.

Comment by NoKnitSherlock on July 3, 2009 at 4:57pm: whoa boy!
this is going to be so much fun!

Comment by cherylbwaters on July 3, 2009 at 4:41pm: Yes, it is too hot here to think! If Peggy Stuart sees that she will really be LOL. I meant Flamenco dancer but a Flamingo would be cute too!

As far as the tilde goes, I keep a file saved in Word for those kind of words and I copy and paste it here. Don't know any other way to do it. That doesn't mean there isn't one.

Comment by bobbiep1447 on July 3, 2009 at 4:07pm: sounds interesting may try it........

Comment by Freelance on July 3, 2009 at 2:27pm: Er, you do mean a *Flamenco* dancer, right? Or are you visualizing a fluffy pink dress with tights, to make her look like a Flamingo? (Sorry, I had to ask ....) As for Senorita or Senora (how do you get the tilde to show up??), we'll have to wait and see on that one.

Comment by cherylbwaters on July 3, 2009 at 1:50pm: Hmmmm....., Señorita or Señora? Will she be a Flamingo dancer? I can't wait to see what she will be!!! You always have us in sts!!!

Comment by Freelance on July 3, 2009 at 12:05pm: I already have three ideas. Oh, and I may have to make Senor Foster a lady friend for at least one of them ....
