Plus the consideration of a "a number." One squirrel is hardly a meal. Which doesn't make the skill not worth learning. It simply means she has to learn to be effective enough to get more than one.
Her fingers can't quite master the size of loops she needs to tie the snare, but she's realised that's part of the problem at least. So she comes up with a solution. A fallen stick is picked up, the twine wrapped around her hand to keep it there but out of her way. And her knife scrapes the wood, ridding it of bumps and curves.
She puts the knife back up her sleeve and returns to the snare-- looping the twine around the wood to get the size she needs then carefully pulling it out.

Better, at least.]
