I had double mastectomy with lymph node removal and 25 rounds of radiation with 5 additional boost ending in August of 2021. The radiation caused significant nerve damage. I have tried all sorts of prosthetic’s, trying to find one that is comfortable. All caused me significant pain and discomfort. I stumbled across the knitted knockers and decided to try a pair. What a difference! I am no longer in pain when wearing a bra. I am actually very comfortable now. The KK’s are so soft. They have literally changed my life. I am so thankful for the KK’s. Thank you Ladies. I am so grateful.
Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and kindness.
I received a knitted breast prosthesis at ORCI (Tanzania) on 10/02/2022; following mastectomy in January 2022 at Muhimbili National Hospital and after completing 4 initial courses of Chemo at ORCI.
Am so happy, you have made my life back to normal.
May you continue to reach more women who are in need.
Thank you!

Thank you so much to all the women who put their time and love into making the knitted knockers. After having a bilateral mastectomy in December I was happy to have these to return to work at the end of January.
I just got my kk’s today I love them the lady that made mine is Mary just want to say thank you so much I love them I’m due for bilateral breast surgery in April and I’m so happy I ordered them again thanks so much !!!❤️
Thank you so much.MY knitted Knocker arrived yesterday. I am thrilled. Thank you also for the lovely note also. You are wonderful!
I knitted these bottom up using Magic Loop circular method using baby Merino wool and mix of fine Merino/Silk/Cashmere yarn (I am in NZ and yet to find a soft enough cotton yarn). I have been issued with Anita pocket bra’s that are ill fitting (due to the style, sides dug in being too narrow across my chest and accentuating axillary fat even though I am described as slim) and silicone prostheses.
I purchased regular padded bras and made further knitted knocker sets in smaller sizes, also significantly reducing the fill from what the video suggests and perfection has been achieved. Great to wear something that is soft and comfortable plus has a good appearance in a firm fitting top. I submit this testimonial in the event there are others who the pocket bras are not designed for. Regular padded bras and lightly filled Knitted Knockers work very well.
My niece works at a nursing home and a woman there (age 90) somehow deflated her prosthesis. (Not sure what it was). She has dementia and was inconsolable. Her nearest relative was two states away. It was Saturday night. My niece called me because I knit/crochet and have done these before. I whipped one out and took it through a snow storm to get it to the woman. My niece called me later to let me know that it was the only thing that calmed the woman down. It is an experience I’ll never forget and I’m grateful to you for providing the patterns.
I want to give each and every angel who volunteers to provide these wonderful Knockers to us a special thank you!! These are a comfortable and easy solution to those of us who need these special forms to feel and look good. You should know that the time you take to make the Knockers and send them along is appreciated more than you know. I have had requests fulfilled over time by three special ladies. I’m touched by your kindness and generosity. A special thank you to Dale, Kitty and Jeanne. Be safe and be well.
I received my beautiful knitted knockers from Margaret, with clear instructions for adjusting them (none needed – they were perfect!) and a personal note sent with so much love from one woman to another. I have worn the ‘normal’ knocker virtually every day and it is so much lighter and more comfortable than my (expensive) prosthesis, and I can’t believe how perfect the aqua knocker is for swimming – it stays put when my other one dragged down in a wet costume, keeps it’s shape wet and dry, and dries perfectly. As an active 40 something who has been through cancer treatment I cannot tell you how happy I am on both a practical and personal level, thanks so much, I am in awe of everyone involved <3
Received my order and a lovely note from Jennifer in Connecticut today. They are so soft and beautiful and really comfy! This is a wonderful service that your organization and volunteers provide and I am very appreciative. Thank you so much!
