Knitted Knockers (Yes, I understand the confusion.)

 Completed November 2022

1/15 Crochet project by August 2027

2/60 Textile Projects by July 2027

Okay, from the title, you would think this is a knitting project.  You are wrong.  

Wanna know a secret?  I am scared of knitting on dpns and knitting in the round.  I have attempted several times and only finished one project of knitting in the round by creating a seamless baby sweater.

Knitting in the round uses special needles.  Dpns are two ended needles using four needles, moving stitches from one full needle to an empty needle in a triangular fashion.  Both tools  create seamless round projects like hats, sleeves, mittens and socks, strangely enough.  They are mysterious to me and I fear them.  One day I will tackle another project using these but not today.

For now, crocheting in the round makes sense to me.  Hence, this is what I used to create these.

This is a service project that I would recommend.  Knitted Knockers is an organization that collects and distributes knitted breast prosthetics to breast cancer patients and survivors.  They slip in bras and make women look symmetrical. 

I took on this project in October 2021, making baby pink Knitted Knockers from 3 balls of Lion Coboo yarn (recommended by their website.).  However, they were supposed to be an A cup and came out more of a D cup(See the picture below). This year I started in August and finished in November, using Denim Blue Coboo yarn and adjust the pattern by leaving off a few rows and they turned out okay.   I completed about 15 versus 6 from 2021. I make these with a few other women so that is why we have so many.  Unfortunately, I failed to get a picture this year.
