A knitter friend of ours came in some months ago seeking Cascade Ultra Pima for a special project. We’re nosy, so we asked, “What are you planning to make?” Her answer surprised us: Knitted Knockers.<\/a> She went on to explain that Knitted Knockers are\u00a0soft, comfortable, knit prosthetics for breast cancer survivors, and our surprise turned to delight. What a good, kind use of one’s knitting time.<\/p>\n

Ana has since been making bunches of them, and enlisting her knitter friends to do the same. She’s\u00a0offered to be a\u00a0liaison between our shop and the UNC Cancer Center, delivering Knitted Knockers collected here at the shop before October 25th.<\/p>\n

Here are the first of our collection, knit by Marian in Cascade Ultra Pima. There are a variety of free patterns<\/a> available on the Knitted Knockers website, so whether you prefer to knit in the round on double points or use magic loop, knit flat and seam, or crochet, there’s a Knitted Knockers pattern for you.<\/p>\n

The knit patterns call for Cascade Ultra Pima, a dk weight 100% cotton that comes in a wide range of colors.<\/p>\n

Because crochet is inherently thicker than knitting, the crochet pattern calls for Cascade Ultra Pima Fine<\/a>, a sport weight version of the same soft, smooth cotton.<\/p>\n

Come by to pick out some Cascade Ultra Pima or Ultra Pima Fine to make a pair of Knitted Knockers yourself, and bring the completed pair to the shop by October 25th, 2015. See you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
