Take that, Stitch ‘n Bitch! Do it for charity! Liverpool Women’s Hospital in the UK is desperately short of boobies, and they’re counting on the knitters of the world to lend a hand.
The breasts are produced in a variety of skin shades.
They are used by community midwife teams to demonstrate how milk should be expressed, particularly for premature babies being kept in hospital…
Ms McFadden sourced the breast pattern from the Lactation Consultants’ Association.
She said: “You can buy model breasts, but they cost around £35 each, which is quite prohibitive, as we need about 50.”
Come on, people! Pick up your needles and bang out a boob! You may use cotton, and size doesn’t matter: no woolly mammoths required. Knit some knockers today!

Wow, that’s way wicked cool looking. Mad cool. Throw in a tot and he’d be in heaven.
Definitely cheaper and safer than silicone.
man, those would make great pillows for when guests come over.
Betcha can’t eat just one!
Those are actually Japanese nightclub pillows. But the knitted ones are so crude and ugly I didn’t want to put them on the blog. They look like hacky sacks in beige with a point on one end. Ugh.
Or maybe a Cabbage Patch Kids mastectomy ward?
That was bad, even for me.
Yes, it was. I shall treasure it.
I haven’t the skill to knit a boob, but you should see my efforts with a sheet of rubber, a bicycle pump, and some aircraft glue.
I can repair a tyre in–ahem–nothing flat.
Just wanted to mention that. Now, for some reason, I feel like having a really big drink of milk …
The Japanese are little pervs, aren’t they?
Compared to the average height of mainland Chinese, yes, they are little pervs.
Perverted Chinese. I think I know one in particular.
One? You’ve never been to Hong Kong then…
