BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – There aren’t many places where you can knit with your feet in Canada and the rest of your body in the United States. But Hannah Miller found a craft table in the Haskell Free Library & Opera House where she could do just that.

Located in Derby Line, Vt., and Stanstead, Québec, it is a rare library that straddles two nations — and contains a theater. Miller is an associate professor of education at Vermont State University-Johnson who is spending her sabbatical on a quest to write, read, and knit in as many public libraries in Vermont as possible.

Seven Days’ Eva Sollberger met up with Miller for the visit.
