Today is National Mammography Day. 💗

1 in 8 women will face a breast cancer diagnosis, and early detection opens the door to more options and more hope. If you've been putting off your mammogram, today's a good day to make the call.

And if that journey ever leads to a mastectomy, you are not alone. We're here with free, handmade comfort.

Tag someone you love who needs this gentle reminder.

You never know when you’ll meet someone who needs to hear “you are not alone.” 🩷

One of our awesome volunteers, Terri D., was on a cruise to the Bahamas earlier this month. In Nassau, she came across a pink breast cancer awareness display and asked her friend to snap her photo. (Her pink outfit was pure coincidence!)

Afterward, a woman nearby asked Terri if she was a breast cancer survivor. Terri said no, then shared that she volunteers as a State Supplier for Knitted Knockers and handed her a business card. The woman is currently in treatment, and the two of them had a lovely chat. Terri finished with a hug and a blessing.

Moments like this are what our caring community is all about. Our volunteers carry this mission with them wherever they go, even on vacation, one stitch at a time.

Thank you, Terri, for sharing comfort, confidence, and kindness, all the way to the Bahamas. 🩷🌎

🩷 Stitch for a Cause: Coboo + Knitted Knockers! 🧶

We’re so excited to share a special collaboration with our friends at Lion Brand Yarn! 💗

From October 14–31, a percentage of sales from Coboo yarn and Coboo yarn kits at lionbrand.com will be donated to Knitted Knockers, helping us continue providing free, handmade breast prostheses to people who have undergone mastectomies or other breast surgeries.

What makes this collaboration so special? It brings together two things we love: the joy of creating with yarn and the power of giving back. Every stitch can be an act of kindness, and every knocker is a reminder that someone cares. 🩷

🧶 Ready to stitch for a cause? Shop Coboo yarn and kits at lionbrand.com between October 14 and 31, and help turn your next project into a little extra comfort and confidence for someone who needs it.

What an incredible organization! 🩷🛩️

LifeLine Pilots’ free, unlimited flights are available for patients like Candice.

🔗 If you or someone you know needs assistance traveling 100 to 1,000 miles for scheduled medical treatment, LifeLine Pilots may be able to help. https://lifelinepilots.org/patient-information/

When Candice's breast cancer returned as metastatic cancer, she enrolled in a 36-month clinical trial at Mayo Clinic. But the distance from home created a major challenge.

Making the six-hour drive from home simply wasn't practical with the frequency of her appointments. Commercial flights weren't an option either, being immunocompromised.

Candice made the difficult decision to rent an apartment near Mayo Clinic and go through her treatments alone, more than 300 miles from her teenage son and family support system.

Fortunately, an oncology nurse recognized the toll that distance was taking on Candice and told her about LifeLine Pilots’ free, unlimited flights available for patients like her. With that resource in hand, she ended her lease and moved back home.

💙 Now, Candice no longer has to choose between the hope of a clinical trial and the comfort of family and home. She can safely and conveniently fly to all of her appointments with her mother by her side.

"I am so grateful for the free flights. It's not about the cost, but the time it gives me," Candice shared. "Without LifeLine Pilots, I'm not sure I'd be able to come back and live at home with my son."

✈️ Thanks to volunteers like pilot Nick, Candice can continue receiving the care she needs while spending precious time with her family.

Yarn is even better when shared! 🧶🩷 Gather your Knocker crew, split some skeins, and stitch up a little comfort for women healing after breast surgery. Every pair makes a difference!

Here's a little secret about our October special: 12 skeins goes a long way. 😉

Buy 10 skeins of Ultra Pima, get 2 free, and split them with a friend, your knitting group, or your Tuesday-night crochet crew. Make an afternoon of it. Put the kettle on.

Knitted Knockers are quick to make, and making them together is even better. Every pair you finish is a gift to a woman who is healing.

🧶 Happy I Love Yarn Day! 💗Got plans? 🧶

There’s something special about yarn crafts. They give us a chance to slow down, relax, and create something with our own hands. But when that project is a Knitted Knocker, the joy goes both ways! The maker gets the satisfaction of creating with purpose, and a woman who has undergone a mastectomy receives a soft, handmade gift of comfort, care, and dignity. 🩷

So, what are your plans for I Love Yarn Day? We’ll be knitting and crocheting more knockers, of course! Every stitch helps us share a little more comfort and a lot of love.

🩷 Coming Together for Breast Health and Community! 🩷

We’re so grateful that Amy, one of our wonderful local Knitted Knockers volunteers, represented Knitted Knockers Support Foundation at "Real Talk: A White Coats Off Series — Beyond the Pink: Real Conversations About Breast Health."

A special thank-you to Alex Archer and The Archer Foundation for organizing this important community event and bringing people together for open, meaningful conversations about breast health, early detection, treatment, and the support available to those navigating a breast cancer journey.

We loved having Knitted Knockers represented at an event that reminds us how important it is to connect women and families with trusted information, caring resources, and a community that understands. 💗

At Knitted Knockers, our mission is to provide free, handmade knitted breast prostheses to women who have had a mastectomy. Each one is lovingly made by volunteers who want women to feel comfortable, supported, and cared for—one stitch at a time. 🧶

Thank you, Amy, for sharing your time and heart with our community, and thank you, Alex and The Archer Foundation, for making space for these important conversations. When we come together to share knowledge, compassion, and resources, we can make a real difference.

💕 Because every woman deserves support, connection, and a reminder that she is not alone.
