emsmommy5	Posted - May 30 2011 : 6:22:04 PM I actually just bought the hook and backing this week at the thrift store. I wasn't sure what it was called. But after looking it up on youtube... now I know what to do! I found some really thick rug yarn this morning and I am going to try with that first. I am excited now! Do what you love, love what you do.
owwlady	Posted - May 30 2011 : 4:29:35 PM I finally tried it a month ago or so. I bought a batik jelly-roll at a quilt shop and used those fabrics. I made up a pattern of a heart in the middle and squares on the bottom left and right. The rest was just using the different fabrics to fill in. Turned out pretty nice. There are some nice tutorials online. That's how I learned it. I just put in a search for locker hook instructions and they popped up.
sunflowercritters	Posted - May 30 2011 : 4:22:06 PM What and how do you Lockerhooking? Would love to see some pictures of your projects and how too.

grace gerber	Posted - Mar 30 2011 : 5:19:19 PM I am thrilled for you Deb about finding another use for the hook - I have found it has many uses and I even have one in my truck vet kit... You can do more then rugs - I made hats, journals, even vests and coats... I sell a much smaller locker hooking needle that I use on silk, linens, towels and hand made felt - I love the smaller hook even more then the larger on because you can do so much more with it. I have even added work to purses, hats, scarves, sweaters and the list goes on...... I love being a hooker - I have such freedom and make good money too!

herb19355	Posted - Mar 30 2011 : 11:42:48 AM How funny, I somehow managed to come to own one of the hooks and had no idea what it was, but I use it all the time with my knitting. After looking at this thread, I went on line to see what it was all about and there is my "Hook"!. Learn something new everyday ~ can't wait to do some rug making. Debi GA Farmgirl #2515
foreverbooks	Posted - Mar 30 2011 : 10:36:58 AM I took a local class a couple of years ago and totally enjoyed it. I have been using yarn rather than fabric. I just finished a small size rug using an assortment of yarn, both color and weight. My problem is that I still need to figure out how much yarn to use or for that matter how much material to use. Is there a formula? Carole Arizona Farmgirl Sister #2556

Fannie	Posted - Mar 29 2011 : 03:13:27 AM This craft is so fast and easy. I know you can get the supplies at JoAnn Fabrics. I have made several hot pads and now I am working on a table runner. There are a couple books out there (I will post that later) that are really informative. I have even googled for designs. Happy Hooking!!! Fannie Farm Girl #2746
barnagainkristin	Posted - Mar 23 2011 : 9:47:37 PM Oh my goodness how have I never seen this craft? It looks so fun and what a great way to use my fabric stash. There may be some rugs in my future. I would love to see some ideas of what kinds of things are made with locker hooking. When I finish the knit or crochet for Mongolian babies project I just may have to try this. Do you just buy the grid backing at a craft store? Thanks for sharing this! barnagainkristin "Others Before Self"
barnagainkristin	Posted - Mar 23 2011 : 9:36:50 PM I'm going to check this craft out. You peeked my curiosity! My husband would get a kick out of me being a hooker :) (in the craft sense of course). barnagainkristin "Others Before Self"
Ninibini	Posted - Mar 22 2011 : 1:48:51 PM I just had to look this up to see what it is all about - I love it! I think I actually can do this! What's the best way to get started girls - any recommendations? Thanks! - Nini God gave us two hands... one to help ourselves, and one to help others! Farmgirl Sister #1974
