I found it cumbersome to weave myself around the tripod, but I'll have to do that next time I have one of these "one-handed" pictures. I should look into those smaller desktop tripods.

I think the loop made by this tool is just fine - the convenience and speed far outweighs me trying to measure the end of the pin, cutting it, bending the wire, and curling it into a loop. That's four tools (ruler, cutters, chain nose pliers, and round nose pliers) instead of one (plus one for closing the loop when it's on the piece).

(Don't thank me, I commented on the great photos of two hands knitting and the blogger said she used the timer on her iPad camera.)<br />kmkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717856105870754472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126546742588074195.post-74231937819178790212013-08-10T10:36:13.732-07:002013-08-10T10:36:13.732-07:00Cool tool, but I prefer the loops to have the righ...Cool tool, but I prefer the loops to have the right angle at the beginning to make a perfectly round loop. Any ingenuity for that? One instruction I recently read for that kind of loop said to cut the pin at 3/8".<br />DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
