Hi all, ABC has just done an interview with the Albany branch, WA. Well done Robin and team. We do need to clarify a few things. Our National organization Knitted Knockers Australia. DO NOT 1. Knit in a nipple and surrounding area in pink! 2. DO NOT knit or accept multi coloured knitted prostheses. 3. Knit with any other cotton except the 100% Bendigo Woolen Mills cotton, that has been given or ordered by the branch. We send out kits to knitters that register with the organisation. Kits are logged out and then log back in when the kit is returned. Knitted prosthesis go through a National Quality Control check. We follow strict guidelines, for the highest quality of "duty of care" to the breast cancer survivor. At all times we follow cancer council, health dept compliances. 4.We follow the privacy act.. 5.All knitted prostheses MUST be given out by a authorized branch or Head Office , they have gone through the NQC process. 6.Ordering, please go to our website, click on "online order" a pink boob logo will appear , click on that, a registration form will appear. Fill in all your details, you the recipient. Choose a branch closest to you in your state. Remember to hit the submit button. Thanks,Cheryl Founder Knitted knockers Australia. Sending the best of health wishes to you all.
Sadly we have lost a team member, passed away 22nd June. Joan Beale (my mum) was one of our first knitters, she organised my first Guest Speaking about Knitted Knockers Australia. I came up from Melbourne to Burrumbuttock Hall's Biggest Morming Tea. I shared the speaking with a MaGrath breast care nurse . I realised there was a need for alternative prostheses. I had several women wanting a prostheses. So we built a organisation with many volunteers support. Mum the quite acheiver would unpick bags of non quality control knitting.

Just listening to Lee Lin Chin, SBS news reader, journalist. Had afternoon tea with her, she remember the story she did on Knitted Knockers, in Wodonga. She remembered my mum, helping me. Cheryl Founder Knitted Knockers Australia
