Charity knitting group Loving Hands has had great success in knitting breasts to help with breastfeeding demonstrations for young mothers and to raise money for breast cancer charities. Inspired by one group member's 'Betty Boob', a knitted breast with a face on, the charity is launching a 'Pimp My Boob' competition. All you have to do is knit a breast and decorate it. Baby products manufacturer Tommee Tippee has donated a prize, which will go to the maker of the best-decorated knitted breast, and after the competition, the breasts will be auctioned off to make money for breast cancer charities.
Betty Boob was the inspiration, and one Loving Hands member is making 'Boob Marley'. What next, we wonder? George Breast? DD Ramone? The mind boggles, but we'd love to hear what you made if you enter!
