I have talked a little bit about Knitted Knockers on Facebook, but wanted to do a blog post to explain what it is I'm talking about (I know, the name makes you snicker, right???) First....What are Knitted Knockers? Hear the story for the lady who started it all (you might need a Kleenex....I'll wait). Beautiful, right? I was moved by her story...inspired by the fact that my love for knitting could help someone in their darkest hour. Here is more information from their website  (they say it better than I can!)....

Traditional breast prosthetics are usually expensive, heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers on the other hand are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a

I was going to release this FREE knitting pattern on Friday...but I just can't wait!!!! I watch Pokémon Go fans throwing virtual pokeballs all day outside my shop window...so I just had to create a Pokeball! When I finished the Pokeball, I thought to myself "Self, this would make a super cute newborn hat". It was at this point I ran into a huge roadblock.

I searched high and low, and the only thing I could find was a cream organic worsted weight cotton. In the end it all worked out (and I LOVE the way the cotton knit up on the baby hat!!!!). All of this to say, use what you have and have FUN!!!! Oh and buy some
