Let's Not Call it Podfaded Yet...

I've been so good about putting out a new podcast once a month, but whoops! June is gone, and whoops! July is about to evaporate, too, what with the long holiday, an upcoming trunk show to prepare for and a vacation. Let's call this a summer break and I will see you in August or September?



When I'm not podcasting you can keep up with Dyeabolical news via Instagram, Goodreads, or (my preference) the new Dyeabolical group on Facebook.

If you are in the Columbia, MO area, I will be at True Blewe Yarns on July 22. I'd love to see you!

Thank you, Knitted Knockers participants!

Thank you to everyone who knitted and crocheted for the Knitted Knockers KAL/CAL. Locally I collected over 88 knitted knockers from my local knit groups and friends, plus I know many many more were sent to the Knitted Knockers organization or given directly to people in need.

76 knockers were entered for prizes, and the winners were notified last week. Thank you to Jenn from Story Yarns and Carrie (zinniz on Ravelry) for their generous donations.

Knitted Knocker KAL/CAL - Starts February 1

Hello! I wanted to give listeners and readers a heads up that I will be kicking off a Knitted Knocker KAL/CAL on February 1. The next podcast might not be until after the kick off date, so I wanted to post information here ahead of time.

On February 1st we will be kicking off at KAL/CAL for Knitted Knockers. Knitted Knockers are comfortable prosthetics for women who have had mastectomies, lumpectomies and radiation, and/ or are undergoing reconstruction. They are more comfortable for women who are newly post-surgery than the silicon alternatives.

If you would like to get your supplies together now, here is a link to the approved yarns and the patterns. Many of these yarns are available at LYSs. Please note, only knockers made from the approved yarns will be used by the organization.

Here are the rules for a KAL/CAL to be eligible for prizes. If you are not interested in prizes still feel free to post your knocker wips and fos in the chatter thread on Ravelry or you can even post them in the Wool Ewe Please group that I admin on Facebook.

KAL/CAL Rules for Prizes

On February 1st we will be kicking off at KAL/CAL for Knitted Knockers.
Knitted Knockers are comfortable prosthetics for women who have had mastectomies, lumpectomies and radiation, and/ or are undergoing reconstruction. They are more comfortable for women who are newly post-surgery than the silicon alternatives.

1. Cast on must happen on or after February 1, 2017 and knitting/crocheting must be finished before April 30, 2017.
2. Knockers must be in their “finished” state as determined by the organization. The knitting and crocheting need to be finished, but they do not need to be stuffed. The organization will stuff them or you can stuff them yourself. Do not close the hole in the back! That’s how the stuffing is adjusted by the recipient.
3. You are responsible for delivering your knocker to the Knitted Knockers organization or local collection point. Or you can send them to me and I will send them on.
4. Knockers should be knit or crocheted from one of the approved yarns and approved patterns. The organization will only use knockers made from the approved yarns. Many of these yarns are available at your local yarn stores or online.
5. For prize purposes, post a separate picture of each of knocker that you finish.
6. No chatter in this thread. Please share your wips, fos, questions, comments, and support in the chatter thread.
7. The KAL/CAL will run until April 30.

2 skeins of Dyeabolical Yarns Super Ego BFL (donated by me/Dyeabolical)
