I remember knitted knockers were the first thing offered to me before I went home after my mastectomy. I remember the pretty colors and softness. It was a step forward to feeling normal again. Thank you for what you do. I love how you can adjust the size by taking out or adding in more stuffing. Great feature.
After my breast surgeon mentioned Knitted Knockers while waiting for my incision to heal up, I received a sample pair from Sherry. It was light, soft and very comfortable which also conformed well in my sports bra. Immediately I felt less self conscious about missing a breast. When I finally received the silicone prosthetic, it felt heavy, hot and uncomfortable; I use it only once and left it on my closet shelf. I love your knitted knockers. Thank you very much for helping women feel better.
I would like to say it only took a few days and they fit perfectly thanks so much.
Today I sit here and think on how many prosthetics / inserts I’ve tried in a year and nothing felt natural. I’m 48 and had a double mastectomy and I now have huge craters in my chest and nothing fits like it should. A friend told me about you all and I am now wearing my knitted knockers and I feel like myself (like a woman) again. Thank you for sharing your talent and making life whole again for me and for others.
Thank you, Barbara for using your skill to make me my knockers, you do incredible work for all ladies that are surviving breast cancer, as I myself am 10 years in remission, I now am able to walk tall in my T shirts without layers of clothing to cover my body in this weather and heat it’s a relief. I am about to go swimming for the first time in 10 years, to self-conscious to put myself out there.
So, to sum up, I couldn’t do it without you, thank you so much.🥰🥰
After discovering a minute lump in my breast at the end of January I visited my GP followed by hospital visits for tests and to see a consultant, I had a mastectomy within two and a half weeks. All this was a shock, so sudden and I was back home in 36 hours with so many questions in my head and definitely not feeling very well. A District Nurse visited daily for the first week to empty my drains and then it was up to me. I visited appointments at the Breast Clinic, hospitals etc and underwent radiotherapy treatment. Six weeks after the operation I received my silicone prothesis, which was quite large and very heavy and I found that I could only wear it for a couple of hours at a time, as it made me hot and very uncomfortable. A friend then gave me a knitted knockers card, a charity I had never heard of. I looked it up on the computer and sent in my order.
A few days ago I received a small parcel containing two knockers, one for general use and one for swimming each in a lovely gauze bag plus extra filling also in a gauze bag and a supply of wool matching the colour of my knockers and a card with a lovely message from my knitter, Sarah. I cannot tell you how joyful I felt, I could feel the love of my knitter as I explored each gauze bag and the knitted knockers fitted me perfectly. I cannot thank you enough. I am a member of a World Wide organisation 99% women and I will certainly recommend your knitted knockers far and wide.
Thank you.

Hello ladies I had my double mastectomy May 2nd 2023 it was devastating to have had 2 panic attacks couldn’t touch myself or look in the mirror you think you’re not a woman anymore when you lose so much but when my mother told me you are all woman still and just keep calm and fight. I finally got online to join a group for double mastectomies due to breast cancer it felt good and going to tell my story then some of the ladies gave me this website called knitted knockers. I went on it I watched the videos and it was breathtaking and tears just run down my eyes to see all these volunteers help us women out to feel better and better in our bodies it lifted my heart. I am beyond grateful for what you all of ladies are doing I finally got mine and I was in love with them I did put them in my bras and I felt woman again they are soft and they feel so good I can look at myself in the mirror now with them thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless all the volunteers.
Hello lovely ladies,
I went for my mammogram today and my technician gave me a Knitted Knocker on my way out. I couldn’t be more thrilled! I’ve been a breast cancer survivor for 24 years. I’m always struggling to find the right combination of bra and insert. This worked like magic with a regular bra I recently purchased. Thank you for such an amazing gift!
I got a pair of KK 8 years ago, cream color and soft fine cotton. They’re the only forms my skin and body will tolerate. Until I got the KK I had to go flat chested while the expensive forms sat in a drawer. It’s good to feel normal again. A million thank yous, I am so very grateful.
Thank you so much, for the knockers! No one can tell the difference. Thank you for all that you are doing! You are making a difference! I was excited to receive mine in the mail.
