Frank: From the scan, it looks like a crochet needle with a ring on the
end. (I use the small one w/o a ring to replace students' springs that have
somehow magically popped off.) I couldn't tell the actual length from the
scan, but that's what the "business end" of it looks like. I wonder if a
long enough crochet hook is made so one could bend the end into a ring.
I'll have to check Wally-World (Wal-Mart) the next time I'm there. (BTW,
with ISDN-128 the picture loaded in nine seconds. <g>)
