Earlier this month we wrote an entry about Ed Jenkins, who hand-makes wooden knitting needles. His wife, Wanda, has posted a video of Ed on her blog, and it's very impressive to watch him work.
This week, however, we're getting a bit more hands on and we've found you a tutorial which shows you how to make your own knitting needles using items which should be easy to find at craft and hardware stores – you might have to visit one of each though!
We can't promise results as good at Ed's, but if you follow knitwear designer, Dawn Adcock's instructions, you'll soon have a custom made pair of pins. Perfect if you want a particularly long or short pair of needles.
