boobs

so. as i have written in the past... i am a knitter. i also crochet and i am self taught. a few years ago, i didn't have a lot of money to spend on christmas gifts, so i decided to knit all the gifts that year. i got better and better and know i can knit lots of stuff. i wanted to use my powers for good rather than evil so i decided to start knitting with a purpose. i mean harry potter house scarves are fun and all but i would rather be doing something good with all that yarn. and i have a lot of yarn. so i decided to make plush boobs for women that have breast cancer and have had a mastectomy. you see... when the hospital takes your boob and you have insurance, they give you this big ole honkin' thing that is a prosthetic boob. from what i hear tell, those prosthetics are awkward, hot and heavy. docs that they are made for you and your measurements, but they're not that great, but i guess they're better than nothing. well i know that i don't want some giant piece of rubber strapped to my chest. i would rather have something pretty that matches my cute bras. so i looked online and found a great pattern to make boobs. i have made my own little adjustments and now want to offer the world Bon Bon Bosoms. i want to call them bon bon because i can name each color scheme after candy. the one pictured is called strawberries and cream. i plan on making a peaches and cream, mocha truffle, cafe au lait and chocolate covered cherries. i also want to have a special line called the Lizzy Line for ladies with a bit of a sense of humor. there will be squeak toys inserted into the boob, blinky lights and other funny things to keep ones spirits up. i also want to give women the option to have some custom made to match their bras, dresses or other outfits. each bon bon will be weighted with a pretty gratitude rock that is inscribed with an inspirational message like "hope", "strength", "phoenix", "sassy", "beauty". my buddy, Pipper's Mom thinks that it will be a good thing. i will make generic bon bons to donate to hospitals and cancer groups and give ladies the chance to try 'em out and if they like them then the women can have special ones made. those would be for sell but they won't be very expensive. each generic bon bon will be made with acrylic yarn so that they can be laundered and are generally hypo-allergenic. the special commissions will be made to the specs that the customers want. if they want alpaca wool... thats what they will get. if they want fun fur, then i'll make them a tribble. silk blends, glitterspun, mohair... i'm down for whatever. i'm just happy to have something to work for. my aunt recently lost the fight in her battle against cancer and i feel that knitting boobs is that lease that i could do to honor her. and if anyone wants one just let me know. i can also make smaller bon bons that can hang from your rear view mirror like fuzzy dice, or more like fuzzy nipples.
