A vendor at a recent lace day was selling telescoping metal rods with a magnet on the tip. They were 60 cm (24") when fully extended but collapsed down to pen size; they also have a pocket clip as a pen does.

I don't use brass pins; all of mine -- irrespective of the size and shape -- are either stainless steel or nickel-plated. So my toolbox (ex-"cosmetic organiser" <g>) also holds a "magnet stick"... It's ca 3"x0.5"x1/16" and it allows me to sweep the floor, for dropped pins in my immediate vicinity, without too much effort. I keep thinking that, "one of these days", I'll get a longer stick -- at least 6" -- which would allow me to "sweep" without having to bend at all, > - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
