120 Fake Breasts For Corsham Knitting Group

A Corsham knitting group has been asked by the Wiltshire Community Health Service to knit 120 breasts for the Community Baby Friendly Initiative Lead, to help new mums with breast feeding. Are you part of the Corsham knitting group or the Community Baby friendly Initiative Lead? Tell us your views on the project. 

A spokesperson from the Corsham Knitting & Crochet Group said: "We were told they could be any colour as long as the nipple is a different colour. I wonder what our members will come up with. Judging by the various colour combinations of our other knitted goods, the mind boggles. Are the Health Authority read for us?" 

This is the second local project that the knitting group is involved with, as they are also knitting red, white and blue wristbands for school children in honour of the Queen's Jubilee and the London Olympics 2012.

The knitting group is growing in popularity in the Corsham town, with 76 members turning out with their bags of knitting at the group's first 2012 meeting. Are you part of the group or are you involved in a craft project in Corsham? Tell us in the comment box below.
