No Bodkin? - NO problem!

In a bit of an inspiration drought.  Tracky Bottoms decided to mutiny.  I'm not sure if Al had/has a true Bodkin and no way was this Lace going to pass through the eye of one of her darning Needles.
   The way out was to look in "That Drawer" (I'll bet you have one too.) and found 1/2 Doz. HUGE Paper-clips ex-J.G.Johnstone.

Since I'm writing this retrospectively I can, confidently, expect little better tomorrow.
