Knitted Knockers In the News
Hailey Frances from KPNX Channel 12 was at Tempe Yarn & Fiber on April 12 to do a piece on Knitted Knockers. This aired on Friday April 13th and really captured what we are trying to do. Here is the link if you missed it.

Making A Difference
This is a project that can change another persons life, while enhancing yours.
Look around your group of friends and family members, it's hard to find someone who has not been directly touched by breast cancer or who doesn't know someone who has been. By making a Knitted Knocker, which takes a couple hours, you have the opportunity to restore/affect someones life.
The Patterns
We did not write the patterns that we are recommending for knitting or crocheting the knockers, so I'd like to acknowledge the two pattern authors. The knitted pattern, Tit Bits, was written by Beryl Tsang, while the Crocheted Falsies was written by Jackie Lind. Here are the free patterns for you to use.
If you have questions for us, please send them to tempeyarn@gmail.com

Our Goal
We hope to provide information for groups across the country who are interested in making the Knockers for those who need them. We'll share what has worked for us and some of the moving stories from the ladies who have received the Knockers.If you have questions for us, please send them to tempeyarn@gmail.com

How To Contact Users for Knockers
If you have made either knitted or crocheted Knockers and don't know where to donate them, here are a couple suggestions:
1) Call the local cancer centers or area hospitals. You should be ready to explain (or do a show and tell) to them what knockers are (see earlier post). Don't give up if the first one says they aren't interested.
2) You can mail them to us (1415 E University Drive Ste A102, Tempe, Az 85281) and we'll find homes for them.
