be without one!

The ones made out of wire with the little magnifying glass thing are cool, but the wire gets bent out of shape after a while.

My favorite is the one made from a very thin piece of metal with two hook shaped ends. Thin enough to pass through a needle's eye, but rigid enough not to get bent up. Sort of like an extra extra thin crochet hook...you put that thing through the eye and hook the thread and pull it through.
