I’d like to introduce you to Sara Duggan; Author of Hooking for Cash : 10 Ways to Make Money with Your Crochet Blog 2nd Edition.
Earlier this summer I participated in her very organized 31-Day Crochet Business Blogging Challenge and honestly, participating in the challenge was the real ‘start’ to my blogging journey.
I learned a lot from Sara – her Blogging Challenge motivated me and her book provided me with knowledge to help me apply new ideas to my blog and business.
I reviewed Sara’s book Hooking for Cash: 10 Ways to Make Money with Your Crochet Blog – you can read about that here.
I’d like to thank Sara for sharing the below Guest Post with us -the free pattern and the chance to win a copy of her book!
From Sara:

It started out innocently enough with Professor Oh’s Korean classes for my 5th grader.

Little did I know when he asked to learn Korean that 1-year later I would be a Korean Drama addict.

Yes it’s true this mom with a hook is now a mom with a k-pop addiction.

Why am I mentioning this you may ask?

This is the inspiration for the pattern I’m sharing with you today.

The Drama: Heaven’s Postman with Han Hyo Joo (my favorite actress) and Jae Joong.

Jae Joong is a postman to the dead.

It’s a melodrama and a love story.

What caught my attention? The crocheted and knitted designs used in wardrobe.

In this particular movie the lead actress wears a cherry necklace and bracelet throughout.
