That was what I thought, but I've been wondering about this for quite some time (intermittently, you understand, not continuously) and in the process I had got to the stage where instead of "Oh, for two pins I'd just do it myself" I was wavering that it was more derogatory of what ever the task was as in "For two pins, it's not worth the effort."
Thank you for reassuring me that my original thought was the right one. Perhaps if it was originally a lace term, as lacemakers had such a connection to pins, and so many of them, even before they were hand made and less expensive, but I doubt if we will ever know.
