Jim Cramer discussed the impact of booming jobs in the U.S. economy on oil. What will it take to be bullish on oil again? He names 3 key actions.» Read More
U.S. stock index futures are signalling a lower open following widespread market volatility.
After Wednesday's market turbulence, traders will be watching Thursday's economic reports for any further indications the U.S. economy is running into headwinds.
After Wednesday's market turbulence, traders will be watching Thursday's economic reports for any further indications the U.S. economy is running into headwinds.
In order for things to really improve next week, Cramer thinks several situations bear watching over the weekend.
It hasn't happened in a while. But it happened today. And it happened so suddenly Cramer hopes you were sitting down.
Despite overseas unrest, Cramer thinks the backdrop for stocks is relatively bullish. Here's what's on his calendar.
With earnings season kicking up a notch in the week ahead, there's a good chance something unexpected is looming. Are you ready?
Some of Monday's midday movers:
*Deal comes after Sherwin-Williams's failed deal for Comex. June 30- Paints maker Consorcio Comex SA de CV agreed to be acquired by chemicals maker PPG Industries Inc for $2.3 billion, after the Mexican company's deal with U.S. rival Sherwin-Williams Co fell through earlier this year.
June 30- Coatings maker PPG Industries Inc said it would buy Mexico- based Consorcio Comex SA de CV, an architectural and industrial coatings company, for $2.3 billion.
Before you put your next dollar in stocks, Cramer would like a word about cyclical versus secular stocks.
Cramer has been scouring the market, looking for new ideas for the second half. He's got something.
Jim Cramer believes some CEOs are so good they're effectively bankable. This executive is one of them.
Jim Cramer has spotted a recurring pattern in the market and when it presents itself, he looks at putting money to work.
Not only are these top bosses the best in the business, their company's stock is worth considering, too, Cramer said.
If you still believe in global growth, the recent sell-off in this stock may be just what you've been waiting for.
The jobs report may have changed the landscape, entirely. That makes next week's earnings all the more critical.
Cramer's proprietary research suggests 3 stocks could be among the big winners in the year ahead.
Cramer is a big fan of DuPont. But he'd paint his face and wear funny glasses for this stock.
A handful of quarterly reports really wowed Cramer. Of course there were some he didn't care for at all.

|The Most Powerful Wizzard of them All... Kinda.
|Challenge Type
|Personal Challenge
|Literature > Sir Terry Pratchett
|Xander dresses as the Wizard Rincewind for Halloween, with everything that entails (EXCEPT the ability to use only one spell).
He must use a half brick 'ina sock at one point during the evening, to knock out either Angel, Spike or both.
He must remember everything that Rincewind knew about magic and science after the night ends. Remember, it's Canon that Rincewind was a Nuclear Physicist in "our" world during "The Colour of Magic", so he's pretty damn smart.
He must become a fledgling Chaos mage after what he learns about Ethan from Giles inspires him to do so. Janus realizes he has a new worshiper and looks into it and is ecstatic in the combined prophecy busting power that Xander and Rincewind brings to the table and gives Xander unprecedented support from the God of Chaos just to stick it to the PTB.
The pairing (if there is one) must be heterosexual, preferably with Faith or an older Dawn (Dawn could be their age when she is introduced).
The Trunk can or can not be included, the best way to do so would probably be to have Xander cart around a trunk on a wagon as part of his costume.
Good luck!

Morningstar Equity Analysts Identify Companies Poised To Succeed In Wealth Management Industry; Examine Competitive Advantages In Latest Report
CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, today published its inaugural issue of Financial Services Observer, a research report examining the competitive shifts in the U.S. wealth management industry, how companies are responding to industry changes in the years following the financial crisis, and which companies Morningstar equity analysts think are positioned to fare well for shareholders.
Financial Services Observer is part of Morningstar's newly expanded Observer series, in-depth sector research reports that harness Morningstar's focus on a long-term investment horizon and economic moats—or sustainable competitive advantages—to analyze complex investment trends across sectors.
Key takeaways of the first Financial Services Observer issue, "Differing Strategies Will Contribute to the Evolution of Moats in Wealth Management," include:
- Financial services firms with the strongest economic moats are those that serve ultra-high-net-worth investors, defined as those with more than $20 million in investable assets, and offer comprehensive, sophisticated suites of financial products that are difficult for other companies to replicate. These companies, like Northern Trust and Morgan Stanley, also have strong brands and reputations, and often high switching costs;
- The high-net-worth customer segment, defined as investors with between $1 million and $20 million of investable assets, is increasingly competitive. U.S. households in this segment control more than half of U.S. investable assets, and wealth controlled by high-net-worth individuals in the United States is expected to rise at a compound annual rate of 7.3 percent through 2015. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for firms to distinguish their offerings from competitors in this crowded segment;
- Morningstar analysts identify Raymond James as a financial services firm that is well positioned to compete in the high-net-worth customer segment, because of the firm's unique business model in employing advisors;
- Financial services companies are experiencing competition for advisors in addition to clients. Significant numbers of advisors have moved from wirehouses to independent advisor networks, as the regulatory environment has increasingly required significant investments in technology and compliance systems, and the market has become more segmented as wealth managers focus on the type of investor they can best serve. Firms have also seen a definitive swing from commission-based to fee-based revenue models; and
- Morningstar analysts consider Charles Schwab as a more successful wealth manager for the mass affluent customer segment, defined as those with less than $1 million in investable assets, while Bank of America 's large size and scope of services could create a strong competitive advantage for serving both high-net-worth and mass affluent clients.
"Our research team views wealth management as a profitable business with high shareholder returns, because these firms tend to have wide economic moats, or strong competitive advantages, which we attribute to long-standing client relationships and falling costs as production increases," Jim Sinegal, Morningstar's director of financial services equity research, said. "Over the last few years, the financial services sector has experienced significant change, including rising capital requirements and lower interest rates. As a result, competition has increased. In our report, we look at ways these companies are distinguishing themselves in the market, their strategies, and how they are revamping their business models."The Financial Services Observer also analyzes the competitive factors of the wealth management industry, various business models, effect of global economic growth, and the changing nature of regulation and client needs. Specific economic moat analyses for 10 companies—Ameriprise Financial, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, Northern Trust, PNC Financial Services Group, Raymond James Financials, TD Ameritrade, US Bancorp, and Wells Fargo—are also included. Morningstar publishes editions of its Observer series regularly throughout the year, focusing on various topics across sectors, including basic materials, consumer goods and services, energy, financial services, healthcare, industrials, and technology. The company recently published its first utilities and consumer sector editions: Utilities Observer, which explores demand, pricing, and competitive forces in the Texas power markets; and Consumer Observer, which studies the competitive dynamics between consumer product firms and retailers. Morningstar also published its latest Energy Observer, which examines the key drivers of U.S. natural gas demand and focuses on the power generation, industrial, and export markets; and its most recent Healthcare Observer, which delves into the dynamics and competitive advantages of the lucrative pharmacy benefit management (PBM) industry. Later this month, Morningstar plans to publish its second Technology Observer, which will explore global demand for the personal computer industry and the outlook for hardware and software companies in the new era of computing. The Financial Services Observer is available at http://global.morningstar.com/FSObserver2013. All of Morningstar's Observer publications are published in Morningstar Direct SM, its global investment analysis platform for institutional investors; and Morningstar Select, the company's institutional equity research portal. Morningstar launched its equity research in 1998 and now has about 120 global equity and credit analysts who provide qualitative analyst coverage of approximately 1,600 companies. Morningstar also provides quantitative ratings and reports for more than 30,000 companies globally.

Among the earnings stories for Thursday, Aug. 4, from AP Business News:

Alnylam Presents New Pre-clinical Data On ALN-AT3, An RNAi Therapeutic Targeting Antithrombin (AT) For The Treatment Of Hemophilia And Rare Bleeding Disorders (RBD)
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, announced today that it has presented new pre-clinical data with ALN-AT3, a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting antithrombin (AT) for the treatment of hemophilia and rare bleeding disorders (RBD), at the 55 th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) held December 7 – 10, 2013 in New Orleans. In these new studies, repeat administration of ALN-AT3 was found to be well tolerated in Hemophilia A (HA) mice, with no adverse findings up to dose levels 200 times greater than levels required to achieve 50% AT knockdown. Further, the new studies demonstrate that ALN-AT3 administration achieves complete correction of the activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) – an ex vivo measure of blood coagulation that is significantly prolonged in hemophilia – in HA mice. ALN-AT3 is a key program in the company's "Alnylam 5x15" product strategy, which is aimed at advancing five RNAi therapeutic programs directed toward genetically validated disease targets into clinical development, including programs in advanced stages, by the end of 2015.
"Hemophilia and other rare bleeding disorders are characterized by deficiencies in specific clotting factors that ultimately lead to inadequate thrombin generation and a bleeding diathesis. ALN-AT3 is aimed at correcting these bleeding disorders by knockdown of AT – an endogenous anticoagulant – thus, increasing thrombin generation and improving hemostasis," said Akshay Vaishnaw, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Alnylam. "These new data presented at ASH demonstrate that repeat administration of ALN-AT3 is well tolerated in animal models of hemophilia, and suggest that our RNAi therapeutic has the potential for a wide therapeutic index in subjects with hemophilia. With MHRA approval of our recently filed CTA, we look forward to the advancement of ALN-AT3 in our Phase I clinical trial that we expect to start in early 2014, with data from hemophilia subjects expected by the end of next year."

After reading the reviews I was very intrigued by this game. I had never tried a turn based strategy game before on a console, but had played around with them before on my PC, what I found was a pleasantly appealing game that holds its own from a strategy view, but does fall on a few things.
The strength of this game is the strategy, first and foremost. I felt the AI was very competitive and seemed to respond well whenever I would change my game plan. I found myself engulfed for hours trying different things in order to succeed.
I thought the animations could have been better, and sometimes the sound would not match to what was happening onscreen. Other than that, I thought the game was very fun, and that goes a long way with me.
Above Average
Good concept.

"Old-School" Board Game Feel To It!
posted by wdwyer (LAKE ARIEL, PA) Apr 13, 2007
Member since Apr 2007
3 out of 3 gamers (100%) found this review helpful
It is a lightweight wargame that gets the combat right. To be fair it's an enjoyable, though flawed, strategy game. First off, it handles what otherwise are complex issues into simple, easy to understand, terms. You can pick this game up for the first time, run through the tutorial, and know what your doing from move #1.
Your units gain experience over time, becoming more powerful & more valuable. It becomes part of the strategy, to use or to save these experienced units. What makes this deeper, is that units used per battle need time to "rest" from one battle to the next. Thus you need to manage what units will be used, and which are to be left behind to guard against counter attacks.
The AI is pretty good when on defense, as it knows how to keep forces in reserve and it likes to attack when your forces are strung out en route. On offense, unfortunately, is where the the AI is fairly predictable. They tend to send units a few at a time, even when up against multiple targets. They also tend to attack random units. Where a smart AI would take out the biggest potential threat in the area. This makes it easier to leave a small inexpensive unit in front of (or behind) your more powerful ones to set up as pawns and take the fire, giving your powerful units time to counter or run.
A bigger issue at hand is the lack of depth behind the strategic portion of the game. There's a lack of simple diplomacy. It would have been nice to have been able to create alliances and gang up on the more powerful factions. Progress in the game is VERY slow, unless you cheat. Odds are you'll be counterattacked in the same territory you just won by the same faction multiple times.
But what gets me the most is the slow load time between screens. During the game it's fine...but loading takes what seems to be forever and a day.
All that aside, Shattered Union has a big "old-school" Board Game feel to it.

This is an awfully unfun, extremly sucky game. I hate this game, there is nothing good at all about it, i mean the gameplay sucks because only 1 person can move at a time. the graphics are real dated and cheap, there is practly no sound.
For 40 dollars you can have a games thats not worth 40 cents, reveiws tilt? i absolutly hate this game with the passion of 1000 suns. if you buy this, do yourself a favor and shoot yourself before you open it. oh yeah and i forgot about something, your troops can only attack 1 other unit pet turn.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Crude oil prices continued to receive support from unrest in the Middle East and North Africa regions.
West Texas Intermediate crude oil for May delivery rose 1.9% to $105.02 a barrel.
Oil price support was provided as allied military action against pro-Gaddafi forces in Libya continued -- though the fighting is expected to subside over the coming days -- and amid the exchange of fire between Israel and Gaza. The support came as the Japanese government approved the release of an additional 22 days worth of oil reserves to aid areas of the country damaged by the tsunami and earthquake.
Oil and gas stocks were trading in mixed territory, with Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) up 1.1%, Petrobras Argentina (PZE) down 0.8% and Marathon Oil (MRO) down 1.4%. Total S.A. (TOT) was rising 0.1%.Hess (HES) was falling 0.2%, while Murphy Oil (MUR) was flat at $71.21. Exxon (XOM) fell 0.3%.
Grain prices ended the session lower amid technical profit-taking on a lack of fresh fundamental data. MaxYield Cooperative Karl Setzer, CTA Grain Solutions Team Leader said the action began last night and carried over into Tuesday's trading session. Corn for May delivery fell 0.3% to $6.84 1/2 a bushel as China denied purchasing U.S. corn. "Maps were released this morning that call for an abnormally cool spring across much of the Western Corn Belt," Setzer noted. "In all reality, this may actually be a benefit. The slower we see temperatures rise this spring, the lower the possibility of flooding ... soybeans being pressured today by thoughts we may see an increase to acres of that oilseed if we have delays to corn planting. " Soybeans for May delivery fell 0.07% to $13.62 a bushel.
Cotton prices rebounded Tuesday on forecasts of heavy rain in Australia, settling up 7 cents -- the exchange-imposed limit on daily trading.

Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- A BP Plc-led group developing Azerbaijan's largest gas field is in talks with 25 potential buyers for the fuel, the privately owned Turan news agency reported today, citing Tamam Bayatli, a BP spokeswoman.
The interested buyers include governments and companies, Turan said, without providing further details.
Bayatli wasn't immediately available for comment when called at her office in the Azeri capital of Baku and by mobile phone.
Shah Deniz 2, estimated to hold 1.2 trillion cubic meters of gas, will have 10 billion cubic meters of the fuel a year available for export to Europe and 6 billion cubic meters for Turkey when it starts in 2017. Turkey also receives 6.6 billion cubic meters of gas a year from the first phase of the Shah Deniz development.
The other partners in the project include State Oil Co. of Azerbaijan, Statoil ASA, Total SA, OAO Lukoil, National Iranian Oil Co. and Turkiye Petrolleri AO.

Guest blogger Todd Unctuous is top commentator for MSM. With a degree in Media Studies from Scranton Community College, Todd writes for many papers and websites, and is known for his incisive writing, objective reporting and razor sharp comment.
News has reached this office today of the tragic punishment of a courageous Catholic priest named Father Pfleger. Father Pfleger is a brave priest who has served his church and his people with much courage. Working in an inner city parish populated with many African Americans, Father Pfleger has fit in with the prevailing sub culture and bravely adopted a style of preaching that his audience would appreciate. A voice for the voiceless, this brave priest stood up for those who did not have a voice. He was friends with Nobel prize winning president Barack Obama. He stood shoulder to shoulder with fiery preacher, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He watched Oprah Winfrey on a regular basis.
Now he has been excommunicated by Cardinal George–the leader of the Catholic Church in Chicago. This witch-hunt is reminiscent of the notorious Inquisition in which the Catholic Church persecuted and killed millions of innocent people in scenes reminiscent of the notorious concentration camps of the Nazis. And who can forget that Adolph Hitler himself was baptized as a Catholic? Cardinal George has not only slapped down the courageous Father Pfleger, but he has slapped down the entire African American community. "You cannot have the priest you want anymore!" this heartless hiearchical person has said. "You will have the priest I want you to have." Now Fr. Pfleger has been cast out into the wilderness, and like Martin Luther his mentor who has gone before him, Fr Pfleger will now step out into the wilderness with the same courage and start his own church. I predict that Pflegerism will become the new religion of the city of Chicago as 'the huddled masses' who 'yearn to breathe free' will flock to Fr Pfleger's church.
I am not myself a religious man, but I respect those who do have strong religious opinions like the late "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, Sally Field the Flying Nun and the recently departed Nancy Pelosi. These people show us that it is possible to be Catholic in the broadest sense while still retaining a sense of humor and compassion for people who are not very well educated. Fr Pfleger's new church will doubtless rise strong and vocal standing up for freedom and justice everywhere. In the meantime, I predict that the tired old Catholic Church of Cardinal George will continue to shield known pedophile priests while persecuting and hounding out of office the few courageous and outspoken priests they do have. I do not have strong opinions about religion or religious people, but I know bigotry and cruelty when I see it, and today I stand firmly shoulder to shoulder with Fr Pfleger.
"Let's Pfly the Pflag for Pfleger!" Is what I say!
Todd Unctuous is 42.

Craftsy is Participating In Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Find Out How You Can Help!
Hey knitters and crocheters, looking for a quick project to do with some extra yarn in your stash? In the spirit of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Craftsy has partnered with Knitted Knockers to challenge the Craftsy community to knit or crochet as many sets of "Knitted Knockers" as we can through the month of October.
Knitted Knockers are just that, "Knitted prosthetic breasts for mastectomy patients," says double mastectomy survivor and Knitted Knockers founder, Chesley Flotten. She began Knitted Knockers after her personal battle with breast cancer. Flotten had undergone her first single mastectomy when a friend gave her a gift that started it all–a knitted breast!
The knitted prosthetic has the same shape and feel of a normal breast and can fit right inside a bra to fill the void. "Knitted fabrics breathe and prevent heat rash unlike silicone prostethics," says Flotten. Going though this experience herself, Flotten wanted to share with the world what her friend had shared with her. "A silicone prosthetic breast costs between $300 and $500, and without health insurance, that cost is out of reach for many cancer survivors. Even those with insurance are limited to a new prosthetic breast every two years. If it springs a leak that is not covered by the warranty, you are out of luck," she says.
Flotten took it upon herself to share her idea with the world and started collecting Knitted Knockers in 2007. Knitted Knockers have reached women all over and changed their lives forever, allowing them to insert the Knitted Knocker into their bra and have the confidence to give or receive a hug without being self-conscious about their prosthetic feeling unrealistic or trying to hide their prosthetic with baggy clothing.
We are ecstatic to have partnered with such an inspiring woman and a charity that has the ability to reach and help so many women. Here is the Knitted Knockers pattern to get started on your pair! Flotten has requested matching sets of knockers for women receiving double mastectomies in any size, any color, stuffed or unstuffed.
Before you pick up your needles and get to crafting your first pair of Knitted Knockers, check out these tips from "The Knitting Experience Cafe":
- Women and breasts come in all sizes, so we need all sizes. Knit whatever strikes your fancy. Knit your size. Knit your sister's size. Just knit.
- When choosing a yarn, look for DK or sport weight. You want something that is soft, lightweight, and that breathes. My favorite yarn for the project is Cascade's pima tencel, a cotton/tencel blend. Many people are making their knockers out of Debbie Bliss's baby cashmerino. Bamboo is another good choice. Avoid pure wool as it can be itchy when close to the skin. Check your stash, ask your friends to swap yarn, have fun, and be creative!
- We stuff each breast with poly-fill, but always leave a small opening so the recipient can adjust the size by adding or removing filling, and then sewing up the seam themselves.
- The "Tit-bits" pattern provides instruction to begin at the front of the boob with a short i-cord that will be tied into a knot to form a nipple. I have found that most women prefer the knitted breast without the faux nipple. Just cast on, and begin your increases!
- Feel free to take pictures of your Knitted Knockers and upload them onto the Craftsy Projects and tag them to Knitted Knockers; we would love to see them! Happy crafting and thank you for spreading breast cancer awareness.
When you are finished with your Knitted Knocker, download our FREE gift tag, attach, and send your finished project here:

I am a 2+ year breast cancer survivor and I was sent a few pairs of knitted knockers after my double mastectomy. They are *wonderful*!!! This is such a great way to support women! I did eventually have implants put in, but they failed, and now I had a free-TRAM reconstruction. But during the times I was "flat" the KKs really helped as I didn't want to do typical prosthetics.
Thank you SO much for supporting this great cause!!!!
Julie, thank you so much for sharing your experience! I too wore a knitted knocker before my reconstruction and it was sooooo much more comfortable than the silicone prosthesis.
I have a knitted boob that needs a home, do you know of anywhere in the UK or Europe that is doing the same thing? Thank you
I would love to participate but I only know how to crochet! Is there a crochet pattern I can use as well?
Here is the link to the crochet pattern from the Knitted Kockers site;
Happy crocheting!
What a wonderful idea and what a coincidence- my senior group has been talking about trying a new project. Can't wait til our next meeting to get everyone fired up . You will be hearing from us. We are the knitters at Bartlett Tn Senior Center . All of us are either survivors ourselves or have close family members who have battled the big C.and the idea of giving knitted knockers for free is right up our alley
Wonderful!! We look forward to hearing from you!
Has anyone made a crochet pattern?
Hi Karen,
I am happy to help! Here is the crochet pattern the Knitted Knockers recommends: http://happyhooker.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/breast-cancer-false-breast/
Happy crocheting and enjoying making a difference in a woman's life.
Thankyou for the crochet version! I am so much better at crochet.
I was wondering if there is a crochet version of this at all? I don't have any knitting ability, but am very proficient at crochet, and would love to help out this cause.

Happy crocheting and enjoying making a difference in a woman's life.
What I am looking for is something for those of us who have had lumpectomies. My cancer surgeries were lumpectomies that led me to having one breast one cup size smaller than the other. I have yet to find anything that will "even me up" If someone has come up with something like that, I would appreciate hearing about it
Hi Juli,
I've had some survivors who have had lumpectomies use very small knockers to even things out. Think of them as partial knockers. Another option is to use a knocker in the cup size you are, but remove most of the filling. Insert it into the bra, over your breast, to fill and round things out. Basically it depends on what you need for your situation. But, I'd be more than happy to send you knockers to try. Email me : email@example.com (you can also follow the links of the website links above for the Knitted Knockers Program) and we can figure out what you need.
A friend just shared this with me, it's a great idea! I think my grandmother, who passed away after battling breast cancer for many years, would have gotten a kick out of it! If we're able to set up a knit-a-long it'll be dedicated to her!
i have been using this pattern for about 6 years now for my 79 year old mother. i gave her her first ones the day of her surgery after she check into the hospital. the first 2 were her size one weighted one not, each with different nipples, so she could decide which she liked. i used debbie bliss cashmerino it washes so nicely and is very soft to the tender skin. the third one i made for fun. my mom is small breasted and my dad would never let her wear red. so i made her a good c cup one in red with eyelash trim. i made the i-cord (nipple) extra long and folded it over. then took it to the local tattoo parlor and picked out a nipple ring. the tattoo parlor was so into it that they gave the nipple ring to me free and wished my mom well. she loved them all. she said that every male, including her minister, had to fondle them. her doctor loved the red one so she had me make him a matching purple one.
i can not recommend these knockers enough. easy to make up. does not take much yarn so you can splurge on the yarn. have fun, and know they will be greatly appreciated.
I love your story!! The knockers are wonderful way to get people talking about breast cancer and to raise awareness.
My mother (who past away in 1985) preferree to fill the bra of her bathingsuit with a spoonge of plastic, the kind you can brush pans with, and then close it with fabric. Such a spoonge one can get in the supermarket and it's a knitted kind of round plastic spoonge, it gives way to the water naturally and is very light in the suit. The normal bra she filled with something like beans to give it some normal weight. I bet you can use these tips!
For knitting just a part of a breastfilling (for the breast with decreased size) perhaps one could use the same pattern and make it smaller or start increasing stitches earlier in the work to get a flatter form.
There appear to be several of you looking for a crochet pattern, Knitted Knockers has love for the crocheters too! Here is a link to the crochet patten listed on their site: http://happyhooker.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/breast-cancer-false-breast/
Enjoy crocheting a knocker or two and making a difference in someones life!
Wow! What an awesome idea. My mother lost her battle with breast cancer in 1989 at the age of 36, I remember how her silicon insert was so cold for her. Not only would these seem to be warmer and more comfortable, but the love that goes into making them… Awesome is all I can say, might even try to crochet some myself…
My 96 yr old mother is in assisted living and needs a replacement prosthetic but unable to get payment from Medicare due to crazy rules. Where can I purchase a crochet breast for her? Thanks!
A more current pattern and lots of info is available at knittedknockers.info.
I would love to buy a pair of these knitted knockers..I had a double masct. in 2000, and had 4 surgeries for problems w/ implants. Now I have nothing and I am very self conscience about it..the bra inserts are hot, they move they shift..I have been at work and 1 just fell out of the bottom of my bra..I have been using cotton socks and that works alright but then I read about the knotted knockers in Reader's Digest & thought they were just the greatest thing I had ever heard of..I would love to make a pair but do not knit nor do I know anyone who could teach me…I would LOVE to buy a pair from you
Thank you,
Do you have a pattern to share. I don't knit in the round. Please send a flat knit pattern so I can help our cancer patients. firstname.lastname@example.com
