I saw your pattern on Caroline's blog- sockpixie. I am a pediatrician who works with children with special health care needs. I am also an avid knitter living in Petaluma. My son attended a public school in Modesto for three years that had many deaf and hard of hearing students in inclusion as well as special classes. He was able to learn some signing as a result.

Sharing this wonderful pattern and program with the yayayarndivas- a Knitting Circle that meets Saturdays from 12:30-3 at the Aqus Cafe on 2nd and H in Petaluma.

Hope to meet you soon!

Best,

Mimi

Thank you so much Mimi- I do recall meeting you a time or two at Philato. I will look forword to meeting you again and your group soon. I may try the 28th of April. Thank you for passing the pattern on. If you wanted to take up a collection of mini-sock's I could always pick them up. To save post office handling if you wish.
Cheers...
