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

We received this message from Pamela, a Certified Hospice Nurse. We asked if we could share it. She said yes — and we're so glad she did. 🫶

"I was delighted to come home just now to find a beautiful gift from your group! And my favorite color — pink! 🩷​
I have spent the last two weeks going back-and-forth to a specialty shop, along with many other stores, trying to find not just a bra but an insert that isn't bulky and heavy. I have yet to find one that fits properly, that does not weigh a lot and is not uncomfortable.

I am thrilled to say, as soon as I got these (knitted knockers), I put them inside my bra, and I was so excited and relieved to finally be able to have something that will help me look like my old self again. They are just perfect and so comfortable!

I have not told a whole lot of people that I am forced to take this journey — AGAIN. Yes, AGAIN. This is my second mastectomy. And this was so much harder than the first. But I'm starting to feel better every day.

Getting up each morning and stressing over what I could wear that day that wouldn't scream 'I'm completely crooked because my boob is gone' — was depressing. But the minute I opened the package, I put a knocker in — and it looked great and felt even better!!

I've always had this motto with my patients and their families. Now I say it daily to myself:

Cry when you need to. Laugh as often as you can.

Please give a hug to everyone who shares their talent to help others. If I can ever return the favor — DON'T hesitate to contact me."
— Pamela, Certified Hospice Nurse 🩷

Pamela, we see you. We are so honored to walk alongside you — and we will absolutely pass along every hug. 🩷

To our incredible volunteers — this is why you do what you do. 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. 💗
