The Yarn Stash

Guys guys guys! I finally knit my first pair of knockers for someone local to me! (Here is an announcement I made a while ago about these.)

To summarize the story, my group counselor knows of a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy. Although she has silicone prostheses, the bras here are not covered by insurance and super expensive. She asked my counselor if she knew of any alternatives to the silicone, and my counselor told her that I knit cotton prostheses with polyester fiber filling which require no special bra. I told her I knit them for free, so this lady ordered a pair from me.



THIS PAIR!

*jigs* I was SO STOKED to knit for someone nearby! I gave this pair to my counselor last Tuesday, and she'll text me when this lady receives the pair so I know if she liked it or not. I got a few euros from her to cover the materials (I take optional contributions of €2 per pair so I can purchase new yarn and filling to keep doing this) which was very nice of her.

I'm still open to knit these for anyone you may know, free of charge, with free shipping! Just send a message!

So the lady who got this pair asked for another! She's in her 70's and she's going around sticking our her chest at her friends going "WELL? DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING?" I'm giddy and excited to start on her second pair.

That's awesome.
