Well, my first attempt at Locker Hooking was a success (after some redoing and adjusting). I learned a lot and realized how much fun Locker Hooking is.
I got my materials and tools together.
Seen in the picture above are scissors (they were my mom's), locker hook, tapestry needle, locking medium, and rug canvas.
And here is the yarn I used and the fabric cut into 3/4" strips.
I decided a bracelet would be something easy to start with. Here was my inspiration:
I found the picture here at Color Crazy. Color Crazy is owned by Theresa Pulido, and she is the author of hook, loop & lock (the Locker Hooking book we purchased).
Here is my first try. Beth and I decided it was too wide and too big around. I hadn't gotten far, so it wasn't a big deal. I cut all the fabric pieces out and cut the rug canvas to make it smaller (both length and width).
I started again and...
Here is my finished product. I think it turned out rather cute for my first attempt. We still think it is too big around, so I will make the next one smaller.
Be looking for these bracelets and more to show up in our shop.
Have a great day!
