About the Expert Sarah Olson has been crocheting for nearly ten years, and is always looking for new ways to innovate within her craft. She first stumbled upon crocheting with recycled materials when she saw a pile of worn out sweaters her mother planned to throw away. Instead of seeing stretched-out material and threadbare spots, she saw the potential that was still hidden in the bright colors and soft textures. After much trial and error, these sweaters went on to become a beautiful afghan that’s still in use today! She hopes that her guide will save fellow crochet enthusiasts time by allowing them to bypass all the experimentation, and help keep useful materials out of landfills as well! HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Fred Morrison is credited with inventing this classic toy, but for centuries folks have been flipping for flying discs. Ancient Greeks flicked discs, and beginning in the 1920s, college kids at Yale University were tossing pie tins. Fred's invention quest began in 1932 after tossing a tin popcorn lid around the backyard. For more than twenty years, Fred and his wife, Lu, tried and failed to perfect a flying-disc concept. Eventually they created what we know today as the Frisbee. Fun and fact-filled, this Frisbee origin story is sure to delight sports and STEM fans alike.

You will meet Liza who crochets through the anxiety of having temporary bouts of blindness caused by an undiagnosed health condition. Here are some of the things you will hear them say:"When I crochet I don't think about how my body is now broken; I think about how I can create something beautiful and useful with my hook and either yarn or thread."--Vicki --"Crochet helps me put my pain on the back burner for a while. It takes my focus away from how I'm feeling and puts it in a more productive place" - Shelli. The two dozen women whose stories are shared in this book are the women who hook to heal."--Page 4 of cover.
