Ahhh, if only Kmart still sold such things!  I scoured homewares, then autos, then camping - and my three possibilities were a dish drainer from homewares, a bread toaster thingy from camping, or the little fly netting thingy from camping..  If i'd had a heap of spare time, a 4mm tent peg could have been made to work, with a file ;)   But a crocheting hook, awesome!  I'll expand my search criteria a bit while I'm out around nowra this morning :)

Cheers,

DG
