We need more knitters!
Knitted Knockers, a volunteer-led group, gets together monthly to knit breast prostheses for women who have undergone procedures to the breast. These prostheses are distributed free of charge to women in Barrie.
The group meets on the first Thursday of every month Downtown. It's a drop-in, and we're always looking for more knitters! If you are unable to join our knitting group in person, there are also patterns available online to knit from home. Visit the Knitted Knockers website to download the patterns.
