October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we will be collecting knitted knockers for the Breast Care Center in Binghamton. We will offer two classes during the month for knitters that need assistance with the pattern. Knitted knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for people who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. If you are a knitter and want to participate, you can find patterns and list of approved yarns on the Knitted Knockers website. You can drop off donations at the front desk or reference desk. For more information, you can reach out to Sherry Kowalski.
