Knitted breasts!!

Oh the memories. I used the knitted breasts when I worked. They came in different colours and sizes. Flat, inverted nipples, big nipples, little nipples. They were really useful and made demonstrating easy and fun. It’s a really useful thing to do and I’m sure the the people who use them will be as grateful as I was. Keep up the good work.

That’s lovely and bright witzend, wish I had known about them earlier too.

Grannysue05, they're knitted muffs for people with dementia, to keep their hands busy and help to calm restlessness. They're very simple to make - you add various bits that fingers can fiddle with - obviously nothing sharp, and all stitched on very firmly.
Very good for using up odds and ends of yarn. Very quick on big needles, too..
I wish I'd known about them when my poor mother was still alive.

Here's the one I've just made.

Twiddle muffs are knitted and look like cylindrical winter type muffs and are used to occupy people with dementia who like the feel of something woolly with buttons ribbons and other decorative items attached (safely).
They are soothing and relaxing and help with anxiety.

Someone asked our group to 'knit some knockers' Elegran but I can think of nothing worse, quite honestly. Perhaps it was just me!

I thought this was going to be about the knitted knockers (falsies) for mastectomy patients that are made by volunteers and suppled free of charge. www.kkukciowix.com/

It is good to hear of yet another use for surplus knitting wool!

I love this story.
However, what on earth are 'twiddle muffs' ?
