(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kristina Swarner. Using wool from her family's sheep, Ruthie knits mittens to sell at the market. When her family helps a deaf woman and her baby, Ruthie knits a special set of mittens for them connected by a piece of yarn so the mother can feel the baby moving. The soft illustrations have an old-fashioned feel in keeping with the story's (unspecified) setting. Knitting and sign-language glossaries appended.
