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.
