Knit a tit!

I saw that last year and I wish I could knit one for my mom.

In November 06 I had a single mastectomy, no reconstruction.  In April 07, I won my Ladies Golf Club Championship.  At the awards ceremony one of my friends presented me with a Knitty Titty.  In April 08, I took it out with me on the course for the tournament and won again.  At that awards ceremony, I brought the Knitty Titty up to the podium with me and told everyone it had been my inspiration.  After 3 bottles of champagne to celebrate my repeat victory, a bunch of us decided to send the Knitty Titty on a vacation during summer.  One friend took it to New York and Canada; one took it to China; I took it to Kansas City, MO and Lake Arrowhead, CA; one took it to Crater Lake, Ore.  We're getting our pictures together now and are going to post them in our lockerroom.  And, since the bane of all golfers is to three-putt a green, we now have a big container with the Knitty Titty on it and everytime any of us three putts a green, we put money in the jar, and we'll donate it at the end of the year to a Breast Cancer organization.  We've named it "The Knitty Titty Three Putt Fund".  In only THREE golf days, the ladies have dropped in over $175.  We play different golf games and pay out small sums of money, and everyone just donates their winnings, spare change, and bills.  It's been great.  

My Mom is in her mid-seventies and with glee presented me with a matching pair of these last Easter!! She had an evil look in her eye as I admired the first one unwrapped. She was impatient for me to open the second one - and I knew why as soon as I looked at it. That one had a nipple ring attached!! By my Mom!!  But I do love those boobs - they are so comfortable and look good too. And not too many people can say that their boobs are in the laundry, but I can and it really cracks my friends up.

I am just on because of the wonderful title, tho I am a recon lady now.........I think this is the funniest and most empowering thing I have heard of yet....

The story about the mom who put the nipple ring in is just so wonderful.

This is the best ladies, I salute you!  I don't have a fipple on my foob yet, but after reading these posts, I'm going to go take an eyebrow pencil and make a turkey on it for my hubby.  And a christmas elf, or wreath, a bottle of champagne for new years.................

Thanks for the great laugh!!! made my day!

Well ladies my mother crocheted me some foobs. She knew I was sad about losing my breasts and that I could not have reconstruction for a year. So my mother decided to surprise me one day with a set of foobs. She made them of a soft pink yarn and added glitter flower buttons as the nipples. I love them. They look good, feel good, and are colorful. She has added more to my collection. I especially like the hippie color ones with smiley faces as nipples. Then she made me some red ones with green hand buttons as the nipples. She is having a lot of fun with  them. Now we are coming up with another plan for them. Who knows what will be next. They make me feel extra good.

If you have not checked out the link Tina provided in her first post for this thread, please do.  It is hilarious!

I once knew how to knit.  Well, okay, I once knitted a scarf.  Then I forgot how.  (It's not like riding a bicycle.)  Maybe I need to learn again--this sounds like a lot of fun, for a good cause.

purplemb, does this knitted titty end up kind of like the bath poofy ones (except not waterproof)?  I bought a flesh-colored bath poofy the other day, but I still can't figure out how to roll and tie it to make a swim prosthesis.
