NEEDLEWORKMONDAY: KNOCKERS
Hi all,
Last saturday, I attended for the first time the Pink October activity of our local crochet group crocheting knockers for cancer survivors. It was held at Robinsons Galleria.
I sat beside with Judith Saturos. I copied her pattern plus she gave me two stitch marker. This was my first time to crochet knockers.
The admins and other members were there about 1:00 pm, while I arrived late, 3:00pm already, caregiver mode to hubby who I parked at Starbucks busy with his report writing. I just borrowed 1 knocker made by Hija, I can copy at home. Grateful much she lend me one.
I made a diagram that I can understand to crochet without delay.
The materials we used, 6 ply cotton and the fiberfill were all donated. Most of my group used 4mm crochet hook but that day I first used 3mm for my stitch was too loose with 4mm. Last night I tried using 4mm, happy the result was good already.
Before I said goodbye, I took a selfie with the braided headband they make.
This coming Saturday will be another session so we can submit what we made. Am still learning to perfect a whole knocker and will try another pattern shown in YouTube.
Thanks for dropping by...

That’s so great you were able to learn how to make these and contribute to the cause. I just made a pair for my friend but had to find another pattern. She preferred a rounder shape over the triangular one. Yours looks really good!
Yeah, really very thankful for our crochet group young admins to come up with this project. One of our admins is a young surgeon whose mother is a breast cancer survivor. Am still coping to perfect my work.Am having a hard time with the back or base or the closing...

I love that you do such things in a group - and I love the t-shirt!
The t-shirt worn by Judith was ordered online, she said, for we like it, too.

Wonderful portrait photo of you with the pink head band and the t-shirt is amazing. I guess I can see the love transferring directly into your crochet art. You will absolutely make some people happy with your knockers (I have not heard of them before and googled this project, how they help with breast prosthesis) 💕💕
Thanks for dropping by @neumannsalva yes, am grateful for our local group who gave me pattern for this knockers
