Oh my, how wonderful! I believe I have just found a truly wonderful reason to finally learn how to knit. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you! Here is a use for all my Mom's yarn that I brought home after she passed away earlier this year.

I had never heard of this until today. What a remarkable world we live in that people actually do things like this for others! Glad you posted it. Wonderful!

I believe this was posted either on this forum or on The Kitchen Table forum last year because I remember sending the link to my sister-in-law who knits and crochet. In fact there was an article in our paper today about the website.

I was thinking the same thing Msmeow cause I'm in the same boat...what an awesome idea.

**For anyone who is going to try it using Crochet, there are a couple of really good youtube videos that demonstrate a couple of different ways to do a magic circle. This is the easiest method I've found so far". Magic circle

I also saw this in Ann Landers column yesterday. My mother would have loved this. She refused reconstruction surgery, and spent several hundred dollars on a prosthesis. She told me it was terribly uncomfortable, so she constructed her own with pillow stuffing and fabric. I donated the prosthesis to the local breast cancer hospital after she passed, since it was virtually unused, but I wonder whether many women would rather have a lightweight device, like these knitted ones.

I just wanted to say thanks to y'all for considering making these. I almost got some to wear when I was going through reconstruction after my bilateral mastectomy, but fill time on my expanders went really quick, so i didn't really need them.
