Patrick, Probably, by the time this gets to you, someone else will have given you the same information. The secret to this perplexing problem is a section of flat curtain rod. I have a section about 20 inches long which contains two pieces with one telescoping inside this other. I form the bottom loop of the string, then place the whole thing inside the curtain rod with the loop sticking out about 2 inches. Then, it is easy to slide the whole thing down between the two sets of strings, reach through and hook the loop on the hitch pin. I never leave home without my telescoping curtain rod.
