As a breast cancer survivor, my friend offered to crochet this for me, and I am very excited to receive it! I decided not to get a medical prosthesis and this is much better suited to my emotional and physical comfort level, at least at this time. I like the fact you can choose the color and softness of the yarn to suit your own comfort level. Thanks for a very practical idea and pattern!
