3 IDEAS for the DIRECTION of your HOOKING to TAKE . . . .
This higglety piggility type of hooking is easily achieved if one hooks without a frame . . .yes several hookers do this . . .it gives a beautiful texture !
REMEMBER:NO TWISTING LOOPS ON THE UNDERNEATH SIDE THOUGH!!!
Whichever method you choose adds greatly to the interest of your rug . . .I find it to be a very fun creative part of the hooking experience!
This is especially good to use either of these 2 directions for a large Background . . .evwen with one colour of wool it will be more interesting than hooking just straight LINES!

I sometimes try to start out hooking a background with the C's and S's - I love the look on other peoples rugs. But it doesn't take long for me to fall back into the higglety pigglety form!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to loosen up with my hooking style. Mine seem to be perfectly neat loops! I like the more higglety pigglety style!
