I spent the day saying thanks to all of those who made this day possible.FiberQathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524481267771726089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-39842113317091436972009-01-19T23:18:00.000+00:002009-01-19T23:18:00.000+00:00I don't know if you can find seaweed extract a...I don't know if you can find seaweed extract at B&Q, sorry. But you can definately get it from The Organic Gardening Catalogue. Also the folk that make it are called Chase Organics and their website is a fund of interesting facts about the benefits of seaweed as fertilizer.Spinningfishwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709744732495957360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-12797814135085704082009-01-19T19:15:00.000+00:002009-01-19T19:15:00.000+00:00I had a mastectomy in 1997.

I found the pattern for the breast form used by those who are teaching new moms to breastfeed. It is an easy, free pattern that is just as useful for mastectomy patients and much more comfortable for them in warm weather. <BR/>When stuffing the form, the knitter may wish to add smooth stones or gravel to give the form some weight. It is much easier to construct than the one found at the titbits site (which can also be found on Knitty).<BR/><BR/>The free pattern is provided in PDF format by the Lactation Consultants of Great Britain. Here is the url: http://www.lcgb.org/index.htm.<BR/>Scroll down to the bottom of their home page for the pdf link to the pattern.<BR/><BR/>Sheila in MichiganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-59325351479223877282009-01-19T17:00:00.000+00:002009-01-19T17:00:00.000+00:00Speaking of knitted breasts, women who have had ma...Speaking of knitted breasts, women who have had mastectomies can knit their own breast prostheses.
