Hooky and Proggy Mats - A Beginner's Guide

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Came for the names Hooky and Proggy, stayed for your lovely voice and fell in love with your glorious work!

[@sas1uk185]

Great tutorial - no bells and whistles, simply excellent teaching. Thank you!

[@laurenestubbs4322]

You were a joy to listen to.

[@wendyaustin-rawlings9311]

Not only was this a great tutorial but it is an utter joy to listen to your voice!

[@creativecompanion]

Oh my goodness!!! I hope she sings or tells stories or poetry or something because her voice is beyond soothing. Truly relaxing to hear!!!

[@bkmom3]

Absolutely. I often play it in the background as I hook. Sounds silly, but it is so soothing and relaxing. I hope she has done other videos.

[@karlaruthford5149]

bkmom3 maybe she she do ASMR, she fantastic.

[@triggerhappysound]

@@karlaruthford5149 Absolutely. Her voice and those scissors? ASMR gold :D

[@pamjones399]

I was thinking the same thing! Lovely voice!

[@charronrenellem.4371]

Similar to rug hooking that we have here in Canada. Brought in by settlers and now farely popular as a craft. Great explaination on how to make them.

[@swankyankee]

Thank you for your lovely, informative and calm presentation. Such a relief!

[@adirondackErin]

That was quite literally the best tutorial I have ever watched!

[@alirhind2123]

Erin Klossner How kind, thankyou Ali

[@lisaharms9387]

Amen..Wonderful!!

[@saraharrell1768]

That was very interesting. I did some hooked rugs in the 70s when it was the rage

[@pamelaade2226]

Just have to tell you that I’m watching this and saying things out loud! First said “My mum would love this!” ( she died over 11yrs ago but was so into her crafts and made many rugs like this) The second thing that I said out loud was “What’s that in English”? when you said “about a centimetre and a half!” And you replied!!!!! I have pressed the subscribed button before reaching the end of the video. This is my kind of tuition. And you’re my kind of tutor. Thank you ! I’m going through her old work box and have found the tools she worked with. Bit of an emotional time really. Now to get a frame. 😍

[@nikiTricoteuse]

That's so lovely. I like to think that crafts and the love and desire to make a comfortable home that led to them are the threads that connect us through the generations. Would love to hear what you made with your mum's tools.

[@msmachiavella]

Fabulous tutorial and made it clear and encouraging to start. Your soft speaking voice makes this tutorial a joy to watch Thank you

[@ranjanasalunke3949]

Mam,your way of explaining is simply superb

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

WOW! I'M SPEECHLESS! I would love to learn more about how to do this for myself. I live in USA and have never seen this craft but live alone with lots of time on my hands and thoroughly enjoy learning new art forms

[@Karen-fp6fg]

Here in us it's rug hooking. Not to be confused with latch hook

[@maryannfelice7705]

I know this video is years old but I just love watching her and listening to her so nice and calm is instructions nice and simple wondering does she have any other KZbin channel

[@annjones5201]

my aunti Leena used to make rugs like that in the 1960s. My uncle invented a "striper" to cut several strips of fabric at once. She made some truly awesome large rugs. Thank You Thank You Thank You❤

[@deannesherriff3247]

Fabulous, I remember my grandma making these, my dad would barter with the local rag man for suitable clothes, jumpers were unravelled to be re knitted, coats were clipped to make Brodded rugs. I remember how impressed I was when they were hung over the line and beaten, how much coal dust came out!

[@annereidy7981]

So interesting, thank you for sharing!

[@gargithakur762]

You are a great teacher...and thnx for such a simple and clear way of your teaching

[@estherrenee55]

Perfect instruction!! I wish all tutorials were as clear and concise as this one. I really enjoyed it.

[@cloudberry27]

Brilliant video, thank you. Simply and elegantly presented, well made, no annoying music or silly graphics! Just the kind of way I like to learn, from a good teacher.I loved my grans rag rugs (Doncaster mining areas) but she never showed me how she made them; by the 1980's people seemed a bit ashamed that they had used rag rugs ever. Now I have a caravan awning sited on decking and love a trawl around the charity shops..... by winter I hope to have a patchwork quilt of small (washable) rag rugs for my cats to keep their derrières warm on!

[@EricWAtchesVideos]

Thank you for the tutorial. I am thankful for the captions. You speak so softly as to barely be heard even with headphones.

[@trduesing4117]

Excellent! Now I’ve got to go out and find wool blankets! Wish me ;luck!

[@dianeferre1273]

I love the texture of the uneven material, its so pretty & unique.

[@sootymccann487]

Love your calm presentation style. I feel motivated to try this technique. Thank you.

[@elainethomas2704]

Beautifully clear and comprehensive tutorial. Thank you

[@lyndasmith593]

Thank you for saving me the time of doing that. I've always admired them and I thought I might do it someday but I'm trying to learn pin looming and that's already got my mind going round and round. I'm 76 and decided I better learn this now.. The pendulum that is. Your tutorial was really clear and I appreciate the time that you took and a little hints and tips along the way.

[@vhirsch4270]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial. And what a lovely soft and calm manner you have!

[@pastrybabe5472]

I could watch your tutorials all day! It was excellent! So easy to follow! I am hooked lol Thank you :)

[@barbhayes5613]

I agree with Erin Klossner -- this was a perfect tutorial on these methods. I love your explanation of the 'whys' for the method which makes it so clear for the beginner like myself. I'm now searching for more videos featuring Ali Rhind -- I'm so interested in her work! Cheers

[@HosCreates]

Listening to the explanations and watching this is so relaxing!

[@kathymilsom294]

[@rosalindperry-mcknight7573]

Absolutely beautiful tutorial. Thank you for sharing this unique art form!

[@rachelhoward334]

Lovely, my grandma used to make these when i was a child, she used old jumpers and clothes, thankyou.

[@samdumas8692]

[@shafqattariq5443]

[@kaugusta1]

This was great! I hadn't heard of Hooky or Proggy or things looking coggily :) Really interesting, and liked seeing how proggers could be found items at home. Thanks for the instruction.

[@carolilseanne2175]

Shades of home and childhood, my Mam, sisters and Aunt identifying pieces from clothing belonging to long gone family members. I have my Nannas mat frame and progger, fiercely guarded!

[@lysfrommarple]

Thank you for a great tutorial, our WI craft group are trying this tonight.

[@susanhamilton1822]

I have to agree with other comments. This is a fabulous tutorial. Great and well done. Thank you.

[@TheMrpiggyboy]

Wonderful tutorial. Looking for something to do with rags, I must say this does look good. Absolutely love your sweeter, amazing. when through the video twice once for the rug and once for sweeter, jewelry and wicker work..

[@ligaskirbauska8652]

Grate project and explanations❣️💝😻

[@SaffyFoo]

Thank you for a great tutorial, I can't wait to try it 😊

[@TheTishy44]

wow....thank you, I'm just starting this and feel a little more confident about it, now that I've watched your video.

[@youltcha]

Thank you for this one it is absolutely lovely !

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Hello Ma’am. I came across this film this morn as I was sorting the wash! My Great Aunt Mamie did this exact sort of craft that was traditional in my family’. Along the line the boxes of frames and tools along with wool and patterns never were found after a large move . I do have some hooks and wool. Is this also called Huck cloth ? In one of the “lost” boxes were bolts of linen and this cloth. Thank you kindly for bringing this craft to view as it results in a fine May indeed!

[@patriciajane7352]

Really enjoyed this thank you. I hope you will be able to find the time to teach more.

[@hollynoscar3534]

you are awesome.... excellent tutorial and such a pleasure to watch. would love to apprentice with you.

[@curious9801]

Hi, on the loopy rug should the back be sealed or glued? Will the loops not come out? Regards, Wendy

[@Ritercrazy]

So cool. I'm excited to do both!!!

[@karenmacdonald1359]

Awesome! Thank you

[@HJKelley47]

Never heard of the term proggy. Nice tutorial.

[@bernadettepauling9140]

An excellent tutorial! Thank you!

[@tanyastephens3187]

Thanks for this.....going to give it a go!

[@karenowen7854]

Lovely demo !🐯

[@jamiegillette5984]

I love to try this .. Thanks .love learning new things ...

[@lisaharms9387]

Oh please do more

[@dianawilliamson4829]

Brilliant video so well explained

[@ThienNguyen-bv5cc]

Thank you for sharing, please show me where can I buy the frame ?

[@doinghairmadeeasy8849]

Bless you.

[@snowlg]

love this video ..love the teachings..more ..more plzzz..tkzz

[@MN-tf4ek]

wow you are so clever, many thanks for this clip

[@WendyMoule]

these are amazing methods. how do you clean these? could you hand wash in the bath tub gently?

[@weisha7]

Would it not work to use a large embroidery or needlepoint hoop?

[@vickistone3700]

just excellent. this woman is both an excellent craftswoman, but also an excellent teacher. another part I loved is her showing us how to use that old fashion frame. they have always fascinated me. gripper strips are easier, but they can pull out loops when the piece is being moved. I'm surprised that the dowel sticks going into the frame's holes don't slide out. on the proddy, piece I saw the dowel rested on the saw horse platform. anyway, just great tutorial

[@alirhind2123]

Vicki Stone the tight stretch of the hessian means the dowels are held in place.

[@Helenwyatt7]

This is great thank you! My mum always talked about her making proggy mats with my Grandmother. Where would I find the frames please? Is it something people tend to make themselves?

[@Venuszenith]

thank you very clear and informative I just need a lot of wool blankets and jumpers now :)

[@daffodilangel8724]

Thank you. A lovely, informative video. I wanted to download the instructions via the link given but it didn't seem to work.

[@ayresc4]

Thank you for your inspiration, could i use an old knitting needle for groggy ?
