Knitting Needles Hairpin Lace Frames

Jenkins Woodworking Ed Jenkins, Maker of fine
wood tools for fiber artists for over 10 years.
It took three years to develop a superb boat shuttle, and now Ed has put in months to develop a line of small circular knitting needles to compliment our huge, well made wooden knitting needles and crochet hooks demand by knitters & crocheters who are testing new boundaries, and working up new designs & patterns. It's been a rewarding, though at times exhausting, venture. Thank you to the many loyal people who show our needles, hooks & shuttles to their friends and are helping to introduce our products into shops across the country! Ed's been kept busy turning out volumes of the walnut hairpin lace looms, and hooks & circular needles, and Turkish drop spindles. Ed has been a woodworker since he fell in love with wood as a young boy. Throughout his life woodworking has remained his first love and passion. He loves using tools that have solid wood handles and so understands the satisfaction of working with wood tools. Ed works from his shop by his
home in the small village of Scotts Mills which is located in the beautiful
foothills on the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains in N. Oregon. His
passion is woodworking, his recreation is reading, and fishing. A bad back has limited the
amount of outdoor hikes and canoe trips in recent years but we both continue to
love camping. (With an air mattress, of course!) Wanda enjoys spinning, weaving, knitting,
and reading. Long solitary walks are the highlight of her day. She helps in the
woodworking business (buffing, finishing, and testing products, and managing the office),
proofreads
for Mandolin Magazine, and attempts to play the violin.
