I tried locker hooking when I saw it demonstrated at the Nashville AQS show several years ago.I wanted to do a rug big enough to put in front of my kitchen sink. Needless to say the rug is still not finished, but I have accumulated a lot of scraps that could be used for locker hooking. Really I found it to be pretty rough on my hands, maybe it was just the stiffness of the rug canvas that I was trying to use. Good luck with your project, but mine will probably end up being a trivet for hot pots in my kitchen! LOL! Sherry
