Great Knockers Again

Great Knockers is part of the Knitted Knockers Support Foundation, and Mary Turek started her group with Piney Creek Yarns to make knitted knockers for women who are breast cancer survivors. This wonderful group of crafters meet once a month and make knitted knockers for women who have undergone mastectomies, and needed an alternative to the silicone prostheses. Mary’s sister is a breast cancer survivor and she has seen her her struggle without having reconstruction surgery.

Mary shared “The joy of the women that have received these alternative prostheses have brought me to tears, knowing that I have helped in some way bring back what they have missed. Breast cancer takes away a major part of being a woman, and if this helps, I am here to help them.”
