Comfort, confidence, and dignity — one stitch at a time.

People sometimes try to pay Dennise for the things she makes. She always says no. Instead, she asks them to donate to Knitted Knockers — or to Knots of Love, another organization she cares about. "I hope this helps with your postage," she says.

Dennise — known to everyone as Moma G — has been knitting and crocheting for as long as she can remember. She first heard about Knitted Knockers years ago, possibly through a newsletter. By then, she was already knitting them in a waiting room during a medical appointment for her hands, just to keep them moving.

She believes in this work deeply. "Because cancer is scary and it makes you feel alone and different. I think Knitted Knockers helps us remember that someone cares and we are loved. It is good to get some normal back!"

She also has a practical message for anyone who wants to help but doesn't knit or crochet: "What are you waiting for?? If you can't make, you can help with postage or make a donation to use however is needed."

There's a place for everyone in this community — hands with needles, hands with envelopes, hands with a credit card. It all matters. It all reaches someone.

It all gets some normal back. 💗

This one's for every knitter and crocheter who wonders if it matters. 🩷🧶

Jessica reached out to share something she'd been holding in her heart for years — and we're so grateful she did.

"It was such a relief to have knitted knockers before my reconstruction. They were comfortable, washable, and they made me feel like I looked normal at a time when I didn’t feel normal. They were perfect. It meant a lot to me. Then my mom had a diagnosis and surgery, and knockers were perfect for her, too. Please share with your knitters that they are doing something so meaningful​, and we love them." 💕

That's why we do this. One knocker at a time, you are changing lives — and sometimes, you're changing them twice in the same family. 🧶💕

If knitted knockers have meant something to you or someone you love, we'd love to hear your story. Drop a 🩷 in the comments or share this with someone who needs to know we exist.

We are so grateful for local yarn shops like Ewe and I in Chehalis, WA, that open their doors, build community, "rooted in the belief that making something by hand is one of the most quietly powerful things a person can do" and say yes to making a difference. 🫶 Is there a yarn shop in your community that supports Knitted Knockers? Tag them below — we love celebrating the shops that show up for this mission! 💕Every yarn on our shelves has been touched before it got there.

That's not a figure of speech. Before anything finds its way into Ewe and I, someone here has held it, worked with it, made something with it, and decided it belonged. We don't carry products we haven't experienced firsthand — whether that's a maker who walked through our door because they believed in what we're doing and wanted to be part of it, or a yarn from overseas that we ordered, cast on with, and couldn't stop thinking about.

It takes longer that way. But it's the only approach that makes sense for us.

Ewe and I was started by Meg and Brad as a place where community could come together — a space that was genuinely welcoming, unhurried, and rooted in the belief that making something by hand is one of the most quietly powerful things a person can do. That founding philosophy shapes everything, including how we decide what belongs on these shelves.

We look for products that reflect that same care. Yarns made with attention to sustainability and fair labor practices. Indie dyers who put real artistry into every skein. And yes — brilliantly sparkly, joyfully colorful yarn that exists for no other reason than it makes people happy, because that belongs here too. This shop is for every kind of maker, and our shelves should reflect that.

What we're really asking when we evaluate a product is simple: does this belong in a place built for community, craftsmanship, and the joy of making? If the answer is yes, you'll find it here.

If you've ever wondered why something caught your eye at Ewe and I — that's why. 🧶 ... See MoreSee Less
