About the event
Knitted Knockers
Wednesday, October 9 from 5-7:30 PM
We welcome you to come to this amazing event - partly sponsored by Amy with the Three Tulips Yarn Company and their monthly book club - and stuff a knocker for a wonderful cause. So, what's a Knitted Knocker?
Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, washable and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these free to those requesting them.
