I have been trying to pick that needle for 15 minutes. I just can't hold it, can't get a grip of it and there is no magnet here.

hey beautiful
press your finger onto it and then liift your finger and itll be on there...
or you can always leave it and someone will step on it.. then its easier you can just make them lift their leg and there you have it !!!!
i suggest the second one... its easier and funnier !! lol

A small magnet, like a refrigerator magnet will do quite well. or, as some others have suggested, tape....I would use scotch or masking tape rolled sticky side out on my finger and pick that sucker up! I like the toothpick idea as well, but I wouldn't use glue or peanut butter or anything that could stain what you are picking the needle up off of, and you'd have that damn mess to clean up as well!

Put a finger on the needle, then press a pencil eraser into the point. Or use anything sticky to pick it up.

Small magnet usually does the trick.
If not available use a cotton bud with a bit of grease on it - dab and the needle or pin will stick to the **** and come free with the bud.

I have a magnetic pin cushion I use for embroidary....it really holds the needles great ... I also use it to " Pick-up Needles."

get a piece of tape and put it sticky side down onto the needle and pick it up.

Use either a small tong or ask to borrow your mom's tweezers. You might not have a magnet or some tape but for sure every woman has tweezers.

Anything sticky could help you...a piece of tape, even some peanut butter (just a bit messy)....or get your broom out and sweep it into the dustpan and try removing it by hand from there.

TAPE... Though I usually assume that the needle will bow up at one end, and slip my fingernail under the UP side. Unfortunately that often leads to being "STUCK".

I know you have a fork. Get a fork, wedge it under the needle and pop it up on the fork, or in the air and catch it.
If a fork's too thick, use a toothpick, knife, or try to get it on your nail.

Try using a piece of tape or something else sticky.
