Yes, you read that right. Knitted breasts. For the charity Bliss, which uses them to teach new mothers how to express breast milk.  They are trying to get 500, so they can send two to every neonatal unit in the country.  Unfortuntely, they are still 250 short of their target, so if anyone fancies knitting a knocker, please visit the Bliss website: http://www.bliss.org.uk to download the pattern.
I’m attempting to upload a pic of the 30 that my work colleagues and family came up with, but I may have too many pixels, whatever that means....
Is it my fault that my camera is too damn fabulous for this website?? Shame.  The Let’s Knit editors will just have to print a picture of my lovely boobs (er, not my actual boobs, you understand) if you want to see them!! How about it Laura?

If you go to the bottom of the enquiry page there is an address in London but I don’t know if it is where you send them.
KittyBlue will perhaps be back to see if we have replied and will give one. I have saved the pattern.

That’s great, thanks!

The address and contact name is:

Kellie Rosier
Bliss
9 Holyrood Street
London
SE1 2EL

I had to email them to get the contact name.  We did get a nice thank you letter from them though!
It’s a shame I can’t post the pic though; they looked really good all piled up!

Preemiesuk sends them to the hospitals too as they use them on the neonatal units to show moms how to breastfeed,
