"Hi Its's Jimmy here, 

Grab a brew and settle down so I can fill you in on this whole jumbo adventure. It started with Juey and her dad (that’s Jimmy—yep, I’m named after him). Now, Jimmy wasn’t one for doing things the "normal" way, and when Juey came to him needing massive knitting needles to use up all her masses of yarn, he didn’t bat an eye. He just rolled up his sleeves and—believe it or not—crafted the very first pair from a broom handle he had lying around in his workshop. Once Juey got her hands on those, there was no stopping her. Knitting like crazy. It was his idea to create the crochet hooks. Between them the came up with a full line of jumbo tools.

They worked side by side, sanding, shaping, and laughing—a proper father-daughter duo. And let me tell you, Jimmy loved every minute of it. Even when he fell ill, he made sure Juey knew exactly how to keep things going. “When I’m not here,” he’d say, “you need to know how to do this. You can do this.” And, well—she did.

These days, Juey’s husband Andrew helps Juey in the workshop so she can take time to design & show our tools on TV. He has taken over Jimmy’s role in the workshop. He’s just as handy, but a bit shy—he’s not one for posing for photos. So you have me to admire instead!  I am so proud to represent them both.

Juey’s even got a fancy purpose-built workshop now—no more broom handles (unless she’s feeling nostalgic). But every tool that leaves her hands still carries that original family handmade spirit. A little bit of Jimmy, a lot of love, and a whole lot of jumbo magic.

And hey, if you’re here, you must be my kind of crafter—one who knows that life’s too short for tiny stitches! Thanks for reading.
