I sat next to a lady in jury duty who was knitting these. She told me all about the organization, they are amazing. ❤️
Stacey, thanks a million for this helpful video. I started knitting a set of these for my aunt who had a double mastectomy last year, but who can't afford a prosthetic bra. I'm so glad I can finish these up now and have a better idea of what I'm doing. You're the best!
I made knitted knockers for a friend after her surgery. When she was ready for prosthetics she told her doctors "no,thanks",she already had some that were beautiful, washable, and comfortable! Great tutorial. Love your dogs.
Ôiooôplll
Haven't watched a vpk video in a while. I forgot how much I love your theme song ❤
I love DPNs! Yes, Knitted knockers will take singles. The knockers are a great small, portable project for quiet times on my ambulance shift. Makes for interesting conversations with other EMTs and FFs 😄 and spreads the word about KK's! Just make sure you have a good way to secure your project if you have to put it down in a hurry; because the yarn is smooth it can slip off a needle easily.
I like the Kramer Tatami yarn, I haven't tried other yarns. I like knitting them bottom-up. I am watching your video because you always give great technique lessons!
This Is AMAZING! Thank You For Thinking Of Others. This Is A Critical Time For Those Who Have Survived Or Are Still Struggling. I'm Sure To The Women Who Benefit This Video Will Be Extremely Appreciated. What A Splendid & Brilliant Idea. Staci, You're Why I Picked Up Knitting Again 5 Years Back.
Wow!!! Tatamy Dk Is A Yarn I Have A Ton Of... What Are The Chances?
Ordering my Paintbox cotton dk yarn today! Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! Don't know how I would have heard of this organization without seeing your video! My dogs are barking at your dogs!!
My Gosh, this should be the instructional video for their website! I am a fan of KK for about 5 years, but I'm just a wanna be knitter, but I have crocheted several knockers that, to me are a little heavy. So, my quest is to knit them well. You are my favorite teacher for knitting, and as the beginner as I am, I love the DPN methods as it makes sense. Thank you so much! I could listen to you all day in your other videos as they are full of the best info and I absorb a little each time. (Did not get through this whole video though because of barking, but I watched with sound down.) For anyone like me, loving the slow motion stitch videos, do you know you can change the speed of this video by clicking on the settings wheel and choose playback speed. I watch it like this for a round, then rewind back and watch in real time. I expect great success from watching this video. I love the idea of knitting the knockers. Have a great day, you have just made mine.
I just made my first one. What a coincidence you posted this. I'm going to watch it to get pointers. Thanks also for the video where you showed how to switch from knit to purl in the round.
My sister in law just had a mastectomy yesterday. This came just in time! I will however, be donating as well. Thank you so much!! 😊
Thank you! I've been knitting these for over a year in Oman! You're demo is perfection, thank you!
Thank you for posting this video Stacy! I am currently helping a friend through a cancer journey and this will certainly help both of us get through this hellacious process.
Really appreciate the video. I do my knitted knockers TAAT on magic loop, that way an identical pair each time. I do mine without the nipple because that's what they said most women prefer.
Thank you so much, I started this last fall and gave up because of the cast on part, after watching you I now can do it without any problems. This is a wonderful thing that you are doing for these women, I cannot imagine what they have been through, this is the least I can do to contribute a little something and it's fun because I love knitting. I have dogs and cats and the barking just adds a little something special.
Thank you for sharing this video. I love knitting with DPNs so I know I can knit these and I love to help.
Such a good cause and great tutorial, as always. My cat is sitting beside me as I watch and he’s trying to figure out where the barks are coming from 😂 Thank you, Staci !
❤ Love this podcast. Best thing ever. My friend has recently had a breast removed and is recovering. I’d better get knitting!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! What a wonderful thing to do. I look forward to joining in on this endeavor! ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Whenever I have a problem regarding knitting, I always watch this video. Even if I have watched other videos, I always end up watching this video for a final check. Your videos really help me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Merry Christmasand Happy New Year!🎉
Staci, thank you for providing this tutorial. You should asked to have it posted on the organization as the one they have for knitting is very hard to follow. I almost gave up trying but now I am going to try again. You did an amazing job teaching as always. ❤️🧶😊
Thanks, Virginia - glad I could make it easier. I worked with Knitted Knockers on this tutorial, and I believe they intend to put this video on their website. I guess they just haven't had time to do it yet. :)
My sister and a friend both had mastectomies last year. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will be making them these knitted knockers for Christmas!
Thank you for doing a video on these and for including information about the great Knitted Knockers organization!
I adore double pointed needles as I think they are the easiest way to make small circular items.
I agree! Love DPN's!
Thanks for doing this video and raising awareness. I stumbled across Knitted Knockers when searching for something to knit for a cause during the pandemic. I’ll have to try bottom up!
I learn so much from your videos! Have you seen the revision to Bottoms Up Knocker dated 4/11/23. Could you update your video to include the change of kfttog tbl? ( Knit 2 together through back loop.) Thanks so much.
I’m sorry I just can’t do DPNs. I’m going to try the magic loop method and hopefully work it out. Yes this is a fabulous organization. Thanks for sharing even though I can’t follow it. ❤
Thank you for sharing the information for this
Thank you for your video! I ordered a kit and hadn't started my first set yet. Now I'm confident I can do it!
Love this watching you knit always helps me with my knitting dexterity. I’m a visual & hands on learner. Ty for this tutorial. Oh btw my dog who is usually super quiet most of the time ALWAYS decides to bark when I go in to record lol. I swear they’re like little kids vying for my attention lol
My Rescued Kitten Who's Now Almost 2 Loves To Be Held, Snuggle & Loves To Be Nuzzled. However, He Always Seems To Play For Hours A Day, Until I Start Knitting Or Cooking, Then He Wants All My Attention 😅
I somehow missed this video and was just thinking about knitted knockers and came across it. Already have some approved yarn, just need to get the proper size dpns!
I’m on my 2nd knitted knocker!!
Great timing! I'll take the approved list to my local store this weekend and take advantage of the Black Friday sales.
Great idea!
Thank you for this very detailed tutorial. ♥️
:) thank you for this very detailed video about knitted knockers. i enjoyed the dog sounds as well. :)
Thank you for posting!
Wonderful Staci, is this pattern on knitCompanion, how are your nails so lovely.
Thanks for this video. I am interested in doing this mainly because they look much easier than a sock. Plus it’s a very good cause. Poor dog. Mine never catch the squirrel. That dang squirrel is a tormentor
And just to include some info, Knitted knockers will send pre-made knockers to anyone. You don't have to be the wearer, and can pick the color and size, and then have them mailed. I recently did this for my daughter's friend, and we received the request within 2 weeks, and they were from a lady in our home state. I am going to make a small donation back to her, but it is just so very personal. And for anyone struggling, like I am even getting one knitted, just go to the website and request a pair.
Thank you!
Great video thank you 🧶☺️
I luv your podcast too
Your vidéos are amazing
I lost it at "second boob syndrome" 🤣🤣 Guess a pro of magic loop is you can knit two at a time 😜
Priceless 😂
This is fabulous ❤️
I’m ordering some approved yarn today.
I Hope You Ordered The Kraemer Yarns, They're A Great Company.
I Have Soo Much Of Their Yarn, And I Use It For So Much Knit Clothing.
This Video Is An Amazing Way To Use That Tatamy Dk & Sport That I Have. 💜 Staci Is Always Helping Someone Else, And Spreading Love 💜
@@StarfireReborn I purchased Paintbox cotton DK yarn. It was actually on sale at our Canadian online yarn shop. Thank you for sharing your experience with Kraemer yarn. I will definitely keep it in mind. I agree with you, Staci is terrific. I hope you have a great day.
@@carolynhannah8757 where did you find Paintbox yarn in Canada? I’ve noticed Alberta knockers don’t have on their list, I usually get Grace cotton at Michael’s
@@eleanork3692 I ordered it from Lovecraft Canada. It’s on sale now for $3.23/ball.
@@eleanork3692 I think I’m a little regretful ordering Paintbox yarn from Lovecrafts. It gives the impression it’s from Canada but I think the yarn comes from across the pond and I still haven’t received it. Good thing I am busy with Christmas sock gifts right now. Did u happen to find it somewhere else?
nice sharing 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a cool idea! Not gonna lie, I had genuinely forgotten that the word knocker could mean breast... So I thought a knitted knocker was a kind of glove or something - you know, knocking, hands... It made sense in my head 😅
I Thought It Was Shorts Or Pants, British Slang For Bottoms 😂
And The Title Was "Bottoms Up, Knit Knockers" 😅 My Bad.
But This Is A Much More Amazing Thing Than I Imagined.
And I'm Certain This Helps Many More Women! 💜💙💚💙💜
Knockers is close to knickers which can mean panties!
🤣Dolly stole the show.
omg, she's so noisy! hahaha
i❤️dogs
Ha, no problem my dogs heard them and had to go outside and see!
👍
Hi Staci, we’re friends on FB but I don’t know if you see my posts often enough to know this about me. I have cerebral palsy and for me, with that comes severe dexterity issues. I am also a very loose knitter. When I get down to one or two stitches on any needle, there is a chance that it will slide out of my knitting. If it is a double point, it will clatter to the floor and thus my knitting is done until I can find someone to crawl under whatever table it rolled under and pick it up for me. Therefore, knitting with circulars, which have a “leash” on them, is critical for me. At least that way, when my needle falls out of my only one or two stitches, it can’t escape and I can keep knitting. So, therefore, for me, Magic Loop is a disability-friendly knitting aid that makes the whole craft possible for me. Do not pooh-pooh that I CANNOT use DPNs. It makes me feel like you’re minimizing my actual knitting experience. For me, not using DPNs is not a choice. Thank you for thinking about this point of view.
You might do better with magic loop - one long circular needle instead of 4 short needles.
@@verypinkknits Magic Loop is my very best friend. I actually learned to hand knit using Magic Loop on my very first project.
Double Pointed Needle Issues Can Be Resolved With A Pillow Padded, Lap Table That Has A Lip All Around The Edge. And Staci Recommended Flexible Dpns... They're A Great Idea In Bamboo For Slippery Stitches.
Wheeltrish. That is also my demise getting some practice with DPNs. I drop the needle that I'm trying to put onto the work, and then grabbing at IT causes me to have some stitches scoot off the end of the needle that holds the work. I wish I could be knitting with you and be the one crawling around on the floor to find your needle.
Hello.I wish to meet you one day
