Not sure where to put this but it's funny
Posted: Thu May 25, 2017 12:01 amthis has nothing to do with the previous post but the category is perfect.
one of the new projects in the world of knitting items for donations is prostheses for women who've had a mastectomy. they are known as 'knitted knockers'. (I am not responsible for the name.) a week or 2 ago one of the pool ladies came up to me in the locker room and asked if i'd make her one. there is no way that a person could refuse such a request. her surgery had left her with half a breast and so we figured out what size the prosthetic should be. I made it, brought it to her and we adjusted the stuffing until she felt that it looked right. the other day this woman, who's 80 if she's a day, came up to me and announced, 'I love my knocker!' heads turned.
thinking about it still makes me laugh.
