Testimonials

I had a double mastectomy in January 2016 and the silicone pads were uncomfortable and moved around. I saw an article in the Sarasota Herald (FL) newspaper about two 89 year old women who were doing this and called them (they said hurry, they were getting old). I went to their house and was fitted with beautiful peach knockers that are fabulous! I can go swimming, they don’t ride up, I never even know they are there. Big thanks to the organization and all they do, I have been spreading the word, to women who need them and knitters.

I received mine in the mail right before I was going out to dinner for the first time since my operation. It was perfect and gave me a boost of confidence to face the evening. It was a bright spot in a very gloomy time for me. Thank You.

I am 20 yrs post-op (Modified Radical Mastectomy with reconstruction) living with “reconstructive failure”. As I have aged and gained weight my right breast grew with me… my reconstructed breast however stayed the same and I was left with a BIG discrepancy in size. I’ve used everything, including a soft sock to augment – AND THEN I SAW YOU ON FACEBOOK – I sent for my own knitted knocker AND I AM BEYOND PLEASED!!!!! It was a pretty beige, the yarn was SO SOFT, and the shape was perfect for ALL of my bras! I removed quite a bit of stuffing and shifted what was left around to form over my implant, and the result is PERFECT… AND COMFORTABLE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I will be sending a donation to support your wonderful work shortly. 🙂

Thank you so much. I love mine.

Just had to tell you that I received my Knitted Knockers today. I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductile Carcinoma in my 40’s. I didn’t have reconstruction at the time, but 8 months later I second-guessed myself and decided to give it a go. Went through that long, horrible, painful process and after all that had a reaction to the implants and they had to come out. Four big surgeries in a year. Horrible scars and back to “flat” after so much time and so much pain. I purchased a prosthesis but I have had nothing but heartache with it for the last 7 years. Hot, heavy and miserable just so my body could look “normal” and be in proportion. I even tried a much, much smaller one. Still the same miserable trade off. Menopause and plastic do NOT go together!! LOL!!! I had a checkup last week and my doctor told me about you, so I went home and sent a request. One week later my beautiful pink “knockers” arrived. They are a perfect fit, I CAN’T see my feet again (!!!) and I am beyond thrilled! It’s me again!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you precious ladies who do this as a labor of love for those of us who need you. I can’t knit but I sure am glad you can. I’m strutting around like a peacock tonight with my beautiful pink knockers. They are light and not hot, and I know they were made with so much love.I know how grateful I (as well as so many others) am. What would we do without you???!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

My sister had a mastectomy last week. We found your site and today I had my first attempt at knitting knocker on dpns. I just finished it and my sister tried it. It works wonderfully and you cannot tell it is not real. We are going to look for opportunities to help others in our area. Thank you very much.

A friend knitted me a couple of “D”s. They fit wonderfully and are light — not like the terrible heavy (and expensive) silicone one my mother used to wear.
I’m going to show mine at our next support meeting. I prefer the one without the “nub” as the plain one has a hint of shaping anyway.

Thank you for coming up with these. I think maybe one day I will try knitting one in Fair Isle

Hello Dear Ladies!
I received my knockers afew days ago and I was so touched.. It fits just fine and I couldn’t get over the softness. I was emotional as I tried it in my mastectomy bra. You are all Blessed and I thank you for such a meaningful cause. I’d heard of you on the news and had no clue there was such a thing out There for me and the others.
Sincerely
Roslynn Memme

I had a lumpectomy in 2001. My prognosis wasn’t good. Even though they took a big chunk out of my right breast, no one talked to me about breast reconstruction. After chemo and radiation, my prognosis improved. Over the years, I got used to the right side being quite a bit smaller than the left side. My clothes didn’t fit right. I thought it was very obvious that my right side was much smaller than the left.
At Vogue Knitting live, I heard about Knitted Knockers. I requested one in D cup. I learned to take out some fiberfill since I wanted the coverage, but not the fullness. Well, from the first time I wore it, I feel like a new woman. No one has noticed yet, but I DO and that’s the important thing. THANK YOU! For 15 years, I’ve felt incomplete. At last, I have my body back.

Thank you All very much for my knitted knocker I just love this knitted beauty so much I have received a traditional form too heavy makes me sweat very uncomfortable,i wear this with no discomfort at all it is like too wonderful to be true. You folks who make these are truly a blessing for all of us to mastectomy ladies
