Knit Your (Tit) Bit

Gauge has all sorts of fun stuff coming up this weekend. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary party. I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but I'll be there Sunday for Tit Bit knitting.

From the Gauge website:

"KNIT-A-TIT" FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Sunday October 26, 3-6PM

After losing her breast to cancer, knitter Beryl Tsang was depressed and frustrated by her options in prosthetics: all were "too heavy, squishy, or ugly... they reminded me of raw liver, and the bra resmebled the suspension system of my 1995 Volvo." She decided she could knit something better from the luxurious yards in her stash. The result - the "Tit-Bit" - ia s hand-knitted breast pattern which can be customized in dimensions and materials to satisfy the requirements of any woman.

To conclude Breast Cancer Awareness Month we invite participants to knit Tit-Bits, check out an array of examples from practical to outrageous, and talk to breast cancer survivors modeling their own Tit-Bits. BCRC staff will offer information on prosthetic options as well as on breast cancer detection, education and support


things to bring if you'd like to knit donations:

machine washable yarn - keep in mind knitting will be worn against the body so soft is good

needles for your yarn -

we'll provide fiber fill and weights

Hope to see you there!
