Momwithahook
I’m Sara Duggan and go by Momwithahook online. I grew up with my mom who was very into arts and crafts. She painted, drew, crocheted and sewed. I tried to learn crochet from her but didn’t really pick it up.
In 1999 with the birth of my last son I took a couple of classes at the local craft store and now I’m hooked. I started out with a little blanket for my son then started selling my items on Etsy in 2007. After a while I started designing tea cozies, amigurumi, scarves and hats. Finally, in 2010 I retired my online shop and concentrated fully on writing.
Crochet for me is my medicine. I use it for my therapy as well as my stress reliever. It has also been my healer. Each stitch I make is made with love and sometimes prayer.
Currently I teach private and group crochet lessons. I enjoy watching people who think they can’t make a stitch complete their first project. I especially enjoy teaching the younger generation – something about the joy on their faces brings the proud Mama out of me.
I first starting writing articles online in 2005 but found my calling when I started concentrating on crochet articles and patterns in 2007. I am an avid blogger sharing crochet lessons on Crochet with Mom and free crochet patterns on my journal.
I recently released an eBook “Hooking for Cash” which guides crochet businesses through earning additional income with their crochet blog. Just like I enjoy seeing someone learning to crochet, I love seeing people succeed in their hobby business. My third blog was born out of this love. Crochet Business Blog 
I live with my husband and 2 children in Northern California. All have sported a crochet hat or two and have “volunteered” for photo shoots. Currently we homeschool our youngest and our oldest will be graduating from high school.
Looking forward to getting to know each handmade designer more through following your journey’s on handmade artist’s forum.

Hi Sara! I love the name of your e-book, very cute! I am looking forward to getting to know you too:)
@ArtbyNancyPace Thank you – it was kind of a last minute decision. I had the long boring title and then the double meaning title came along. I was super nervous about using it but it’s been good for grabbing people’s attention. 🙂
I so enjoyed reading your ‘history of my handmade’ and what it can do for a person, their lives and help in directing their futures. Your ‘yellow brick road’ is “crocheted’ and beautiful too!!!
@Sewnsewsister thank you, glad you were positively touched.
Hey Sara… Good to see you again and welcome! I find crocheting therapeutic as well! ;o) Look forward to reading more!
@Crochethooked Glad to be back. I was missing in action for a couple of months but now I’m back and very glad to be. “) Looking forward to connecting with more people on HAF.
Hi, Sara! Looking forward to chatting with you on the forum.
Thank you @MarilynKelleyArt 🙂
Hi Sara, Welcome to the forum and thanks for an interesting article. I enjoyed seeing your crocheted items in forms other than the usual blanket or clothing item.
@Uniqlets Thank you. I haven’t worked on a large project in some time. The last project was a blanket for my mum. The smaller projects are quick and give me immediate satisfaction.
