Knitted Knockers provide softer alternative

It started when Gloria Siewert got a visit from a Canadian friend who is a breast cancer survivor. The friend had a single mastectomy and had undergone unsuccessful reconstruction surgery. She asked Gloria what might seem like a strange question: “Which one is real?” Gloria couldn’t tell. It was then that her friend revealed that she was wearing a Knitted Knocker. Knitted Knockers are a soft, handmade alternative to a traditional breast prosthesis. They are made by volunteers around the world and distributed free of charge to breast cancer patients through the organization’s web site, knittedknockers.org. The project was originally started in Bellingham, Washington by Barbara Demorest, a breast cancer survivor herself. Barbara, Gloria Siewert, Winona Health Volunteer like many women, found traditional prostheses to be heavy, cumbersome and Since starting in January 2017, a group uncomfortable. Her friend Phyllis, an of ten to twelve area women have made avid knitter, found a pattern online and over 400 Knitted Knockers, which created a soft, lightweight knit prosthesis have been distributed to local breast for Barbara.

It’s my new normal.” When Gloria started making the prostheses, she thought that natural, flesh-toned colors would be the most popular. To her surprise, the group gets requests for all sorts of colors. She feels this is something that women can have a little fun with during one of the most challenging times of their lives.
