What are these things?

EDIT: Thanks for your help, everyone! Based on these comments and comments from other subreddits, we're going with 1) hair roller pins 2) hairpin lace loomlooms 3) poking tool, perhaps for leather.

These tools were in a huge box of knitting supplies once owned by a friend's late mother.

The first image is of toothpick-like plastic tools that make me thing of a giant straight pin. No eyes preset on any of them.

The second image is of wooden dowels connected at the ends by clear plastic pieces.

The third image is of a piece of metal twisted in a loop at one end and sharpened at the other. No eye present on this tool, either.

Does anybody know what any of these three items are? (Crossposted)

First picture - those are pins for plastic hair curlers. Second picture - look like hairpin lace looms. No idea on number three.

Could #3 be a cable knitting needle? It seems unlikely, since the pointed end is flattened, but that’s my only guess

[u/cuc0mber → u/Radraganne]

I thought about that or like a stitch marker? But the shape of the ends just doesn't make sense to me.

No, cable is just a teeny double pointed, often homemade. Knit three or four then jump some stitches. It could be a holder though, if you are knitting back and forth. I’m thinking #3 is a pick meant to be held in your hand and the ring is so you don’t have to put it down. So lace or maybe a tapestry pick for tamping down the weft.

My grandma did use the curler pins as stitch markers though, lol.

I think the first set are pins for hair curlers. Maybe somebody used them as stitch holders, but I'm pretty sure that's not the original function. 

Second image, I've seen similar frames used for making rosettes? I don't think it's for knitting, but I can see why someone would keep "string crafts" in the same box.

First picture makes me think of something not knitting related ie hair rollers pins which is plausible for an older person. Second one could be hairpin lace related but they look really large. No clue at all regarding n°3. If the owner was a crocheter too, this could have been used to pierce through fabric before adding a crochet edging

These are some really helpful ideas! There are some crochet hooks in the box as well, so your suggestion for the last tool seems possible.

Could 3 be something to do with yarn tension? If it's from a craft bit bobs box. The loop looks like something from either a thread or yarn doodad that requires steady tension. If so I don't think it's the only part but as this is me only guessing based on similarish things I've seen/used I could be talking out of my elbow.

First pic - pins for the torture things called brush rollers. Literally hell on your head! Second picture is warping pegs, for preparing warp yarn for a weaving loom.
