Book Reviews of Hook, Loop 'n' Lock: Create Fun and Easy Locker Hooked Projects

Book Review: Easy to follow and inspiring
Summary: 4 Stars

I had only done 2 projects when I purchased this book. My Granddaughter who is 8 wanted to make something for her Mom for Mothers day. She choose the checkers and dots centerpiece and decided to do only 4 squares and to make it a trivet. She came over a couple of times and with minimal help was able to complete the project it turned out great and her Mom was impressed. She is currently working on the drink keeper for her Dad and I'm working on the blossom bag. The book is inspiring and easy to follow the only difficulty is getting materials. It requires planning and lead time since most items are only available online and even then mostly I've ended up cutting my own strips. I would highly recommend this book and it would be great for children as well as adults

Summary of Hook, Loop 'n' Lock: Create Fun and Easy Locker Hooked Projects

Not your grandma's locker hooking.
(Unless Gram is one hip chick!)

Hook, Loop & Lock
Create Fun and Easy Locker Hooked Projects

Go "loopy" for locker hooking - a fun, easy-to-learn method for turning strips of fabric or yarn into fabulous home decor, stylish fashion accessories and one-of-a-kind gifts. In this book, traditional locker hooking breaks out of its homespun country image, showing that it can be bold, modern, wild, whimsical ... whatever you want it to be! You'll be "hooked" once you see the fabulous projects inside - from super-simple candy-stripe coasters and funky placemats, to retro-chic bags, exquisite luminaries and custom cozies for your cell phone, digital camera or mp3 player. (I just think if we say "cool", it no longer IS cool)

Look inside for:

  • 31 original projects from various artists, complete with patterns and step-by-step instructions
  • a diverse combination of techniques, textures and materials--ribbons, beads and snazzy fibers, silk, mohair, wool ... even recycled plastic bags!
  • everything a beginner needs to know for happy results, from basic supplies to finishing techniques
Recreate a project as-is, or alter colors and patterns to suit your style. Once you've got the basics down, there's nothing stopping you from creating your own original rugs, pillows, wall-hangings and more!
