I have all the stuff to do it but haven't yet. Not even sure what I was going to make it just looks like a great way to use up fabric scraps.

Happy New Year Sisters,
I took a class about 5 years ago, had a blast. I've made rugs and baskets. Great way for scraps to be used. Enjoy yourselves. But be careful....it's habit forming.LOL

Hi Lisa,

I lockerhook and love it. It's faster than braiding, very relaxing once you get your rythum going and hides a lot of mistakes and still looks great, also a great way to use small pieces of fabric. I usually cut up old clothing. The rugs also wash great in the washer. Have fun you will have one done in no time.

There is no set path, follow your heart stay the course.

I love locker hooking. I've made a small rug and some trivets to match my kitchen decor. It's a great way to use up scraps of fabric and make something nobody else has. The trivets make great gifts too - one of a kind. Enjoy yourself.

I took a class several years ago and love it. Have made several rugs and some trivets. I have been making the rugs using yarn rather than fabric but haven't been able to figure out how much yarn to use.
