Crocheted boobs (& dinks) with illustrated instructions to help check for and prevent cancer



As part of the Pink For October contest this week, where the phrase is “self breast exam”, I wanted to bring to your attention these gorgeous products on Etsy. Boobs & Dinks!

Yes, I mentioned them last year, but they’re worth another mention!

Crocheted pieces of our anatomy that come with an illustrated book to teach you how to properly check for breast tumors (or testicular for the guys). This is the gift that says you care! Seriously… The illustrations in the book are really nice and what else says that you care than “Please take care of yourself, I don’t want you to die from cancer.”?

Kristarella- The world definately needs more crochet. (I also miss cribbage, the card game.)
I sent you an email using the form on this site, Hope it didn’t get lost in spam. I found you by using “hooks” in Thesis, though not for crochet. kbs
