Berendina Kramer pulls a hat snug over her head to check the size as she knits at her home in Champaign.
CHAMPAIGN – Berendina Kramer's fingers deftly wrap green yarn around one knitting needle. Three other needles are stuck through the crown of the hat she is knitting. A skein of yarn sits at her feet, and light green and dark green scarves are draped across the chair.
When she's finished, she'll tie the hat and one of the scarves together with another piece of yarn. By next fall, she'll have 99 similar bundles, and the hats and scarves will be delivered to school children to keep them warm.
