Knit a breast for charity

February 12th, 2007

The BBC is running an article about knitted breasts. These delightful woollen monomammaries will be used to familiarise expectant mothers with breastfeeding and expressing techniques. Latex versions of these cost £35 each, so Liverpool Women’s Hospital is asking grannies and hipster kids everywhere to lend a hand and knit a breast for the greater good. What a wonderful idea! Kintplans are available from the Lactation Consultants of Great Britain website, here.

EDIT: there is even more breast-knitting fun to be found here.
