Tit Bits


Darlene wrote: A friend of mine Brenda is trying to get knitters to make these. Below is a little of the letter that appeared in Canadian Living, Oct issue. After losing a breast to cancer, Beryl Tsang could not find a comfortable prosthesis, so she knit her own. Soon other breast cancer survivors were asking for them, so she started up Tit Bits; Hand-knitted Breasts. I told Brenda that our knitting group might be interested in knitting some so she could give them out. She takes some to Mexico as you can imagine a lot of women there can not afford their own prosthesis. I have finished one and really it takes a bit to get started but if you can knit socks you can knit these. The knitting yarn they suggest I have included on the pattern. Give it a try. Thanks Darlene
