I really like this vest, it would be pretty layered over jeans, just the ticket for weather that likes to change on it’s own whim. Maybe it’s just that it’s green, I don’t know, but it sure is pretty. Actually I went over to the Fiddlesticks Knitting site to see if there were any other colors, and there are. LOTS! …

I know what you’re going to say. “There’s no way I would look like that in that tank top”! Good for you! It took me a LONG time to get to the point of remembering that.
I’m not tall and willowy with legs up to my neck and a 20″ waist. I’m short and squatty, but this could work.

Knitted prosthetic breasts for mastectomy patients. Sounds silly, doesn’t it? Yet, when placed in a bra, these knitted breasts take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are lighter and more comfortable than silicone prosthetic breasts. The knitted fabric breathes and prevents the heat rash experienced by many women wearing the silicone ones.
Did you know that just …
