The Knitty Titty Committee!

No, I'm not talking about our boobs. I'm talking about knitting prosthesis for breast cancer survivors, a fantastic idea from Yorkshire Yarns!

The Knitty Titty Committee is an effort to help mastectomy patients obtain free or low-cost knitted prostheses instead of the traditional expensive, heavy silicone versions.

If you'd like to lend your services, they have a part of their blog with knitted and crocheted ta-ta patterns!

Yarnbombing.com has posted more pictures from the Joy House Tree. Click here to view the post, or click here to see the Flickr album. Can you see any of ours?

A big thank you to everyone who listened to our radio show! A fan all the way in MA has donated yarn to the cause, a big shout-out to PR & C! If you would like to donate, please email us at knittygrittycommittee@gmail.com

Better late than never, here's my St. Patty's day bomb outside of The Half Door on Sisson Ave.

Gone but not forgotten

We are getting some feedback from the Elizabeth Park "massacre" and we're glad you loved it! The KGC would like to thank everyone who has supported us, including a Parks Department employee who stated that our bombing was a great departure from the condoms, garbage, and drug paraphernalia that usually litters the park. The reason why we chose to the Rose Garden was... well... I'll just say it. It's pretty damn ugly this season. No one goes there during the winter, and now they have a reason to.

Also, to those who have not figured this out yet, this post is a satire. A joke. Sarcasm. They loved it. 
Tonight the KGC takes over your airwaves.... almost. We're recording at WWUH. Air date TBA.

The first photo of the Historic Joy Kogawa House has been posted!
Can't wait to see more! Maybe some close-ups...

Looking forward to St. Patty's Day...
