"Knitted Knockers" are handmade, knitted prosthetic breasts that help women adjust to life without their breasts after a mastectomy or other life-altering breast procedure. Women all over the country, including in North Idaho, are using them as an alternative to reconstruction or traditional implants, which can be hot, heavy and expensive.
