And I don't mean hookers in locker rooms!!! LOL
I was at a local quilt shop the other day, and the lady introduced me to Locker Hooking. Has anyone ever done it?
I have tried to make hooked rugs that I learned to make at a quilt shop, but it ended up in an oval with 2 boob looking bumps in it and it was too complicated for me. This kind of hooking actually used the canvas used for hooking rugs, but you use strips of fabric with a crochet hook at one end and a huge needle looking things at the other. She showed me how to do it in about 2 minutes. Going to take the class.

Do you have a picture? Will look it up! Sounds fun.

I bought the hook & patterns & started a rug, but found that it was too hard on my hands & the canvas rubbed the soft parts of my hand raw. Donated it to the guild auction. However I loved seeing the samples of what others had made at the quilt show where I bought it. Look forward to seeing how you manage with it.

I haven't done Locker Hooking due to Arthritis in my hands. My SIL does it and just loves it.

Well, that's what I needed to know. So I am definitely going to try it because I need throw rugs for my kitchen and dining room. Hopefully it will be easier than the other method. Thanks all!!

It wasn't hard, it was just too slow of a progress for me. I wanted it done yesterday.

Have a kit, but just another project on my "later" list. ;)

I'm not sure but I think there may be a tutorial on here on how to do it. You might look under search. Seems to me that shortly after I joined someone was showing how to do this.

I bought all the stuff to do it and made a hot mat. Took too long and not easy on my hands. Not something I want to do again. Also used too much fabric in my opinion.
