The yearly Gifts is always a fantastic collection of patterns, but I think this year is exceptional in its breadth of projects. I especially appreciate the number of patterns for men, but there is something for every member of the family, plus homey items like entrelac coasters and an aran weight throw. My customers favorites are Sister Legwarmers and Compordach Mittens (which are cabled on the outside and have a knitted lining). Check it out at your LYS!
Eight women gathered to start their knitted prosthetics for breast cancer survivors. Some of us found it easier to do knit front and back, instead of make 1, because there are increases in every row, and it can get a bit tight. The website Knitted Knockers provides patterns for magic loop, double points, straight needles, and crochet, and the patterns have sizes from A cup to E cup.
Sunday, September 13th, we’ll be gathering at the shop from 1-3 to knit prosthetic breasts–Knitted Knockers–for survivors of breast cancer. We would like to donate these knitted breasts to local women, but if we aren’t able to do that, we can send them to the organization and they will donate them.
