STRESS BUST-ER (PUN)

No, those aren't weirdly-colored taco chips, they are unfinished KNITTED KNOCKERS.  I've written about them in the blog before (and I hope you will click on the link above and read about them).  They are hand-knitted, soft cotton breast prostheses for women who have survived breast cancer.  That's the current crop that I've knitted. They are "unfinished" because the final step is stuffing each one with polyester filling, at which point they look uncannily like breasts.  However, I'm about to mail off this batch, and to save postage, I mail them un-stuffed.  They'll get stuffed when they reach their Washington destination, and then each one will be mailed, free, to a woman who has requested it.  I really love making these.

Because my schedule is so unpredictable right now, and because I am living in two places, I can't do any rug hooking or any of my usual creative pursuits, but I can grab my very small knitting bag (pictured on the upper right) and I can make a knocker anywhere.  It's about all I can do.  Because I've learned the pattern, these are stress-relieving no-brainer tiny projects and they make me feel great as I make them. 

Helping me, and helping the recipient. 

If you knit (or crochet--there's a crochet pattern for them also), please consider making some.  The need is great.
