I was watching Miss Marple, and there was somebody wearing a daisy sweater, and I was so happy and proud that you had taught me how it was made.

When I hear "vintage" used by a young (er) person, my inner child gives a chuckle ❤

I have had one of these in my craft drawer for years and knew it did something cool but no idea what. The algorithm gods have smiled upon me this day.

1971 i made a daisy afghan. It was taken off my clothesline. Only had it finished for a week. Wish I could make a new one.

I've seen these few years ago at some thrift shop, mixed in the cutlery and kitchen tools box. I asked to the store clerck, what it was and what was used for. He said it was for crimping the edges of baked hand-pies and the pins were for piercing the pie dough so it wouldn't puff up when baking. He sounded so sure. I've never googleed it and I have forgotten all about it until today! Thank you for sharing. 😁😁👍👍

These are so much easier to use than those goofy plastic ones like to be able to retract those pins is KEY

I cannot wait to see them all crocheted together!

In the 70's there was a plastic version that had a handle projection from the knob. It was called Knit Wit and you bought it in the crafts section. Used for those daisy afghans Had an adaptor so you could make squares. Something to do on a boring Sunday afternoon

Oh wow! This brought an old forgotten memory back from my childhood with my grand! I’m 70. 😉

Woooo...my childhood memories❤. My mom used to make it and i used to help her make the daisies❤

These would make GREAT Girl Scout Swaps !

My mom made loads of entire twin size blankets with a similar daisy maker. Hers made a double daisy. I think Susan Bates made the daisy maker.

Those daisies make absolutely fabulous cat toys. Cats are so enthralled with them. Cats toss them in the air and bat them around. They love them.

You don’t need 400 more, when I was younger I had a flower loom that was the same concept and after knitting a hat for my mother I made a flower just instead of using the same colored yarn as the petals I made the center a different color, the flower is a cute little accent to the hat! She still wears it to this day

I found one of these at the Center for Creative Reuse this summer and bought it for $2. I don’t know what I’ll ever make with it, but knowing what it was because of your videos made it too cool to pass up.

It would be so fun for a parent to do this collaboratively with their child. Imagine having the child make the daisies and the parent crochets them together and they listen to an audio book together while they do it 🥹

My life is more complete the more random tools/objects I have at least vague understanding of what they are for and how they work. Thank you!

Never have I wanted to see a modern version of this more than now.

My mom had one of these, and I always wondered how it worked! Thank you!

I want one! 😍 I'd love to see a full project made with daisies. Maybe a lightweight cloak?

I would use those daisies on a veil and/or wedding dress. So cute!

I just found you !!! I am here for it all 🎉

Wow, i have one of those in my craft stuff from my grandma. I never could figure out what it was. I thought it was maybe a broken off piece from something. Glad i didn't toss it!! Thanks for making this video!!

Vintage crochet gadget, my new favorite thing! 🧶

your videos about these daisy makers finally convinced me to pick one up! i don’t know that i’ll ever make a whole garment or blanket, but i like to make plush toys and also collect vintage ones, and i think these daisies would be too precious as bows. i found a brass one in excellent condition for $6 on ebay :) and it seems like all the listings are getting a lot of attention now! i believe in you and the daisy blouse, you can do it!!!!

Amazing. When my mother passed away many years ago, something like this was in her crafts. Now I know what it's used for, thank you.

It's nice to see just how fast she can make the video for sewing the petals together for us newbies that we can't see a darn thing... Congratulations and thanks

A literal "Daisy" making crotchet tool. Awesome

You can do it! I’m cheering you on from my own pile of phd’s (projects-half-done)! Sad to say, none of mine are gonna get done this month unless my health cooperates but I’m gonna try too!

Loved this short. Well done.

You talk about vintage stuff and when I realize that I know about them, and it's because I'm vintage, too!😂😂😂

my great great grandmother, my great grandmother and my grandmother all used this tool and would crochet the daisies together to make a dress for a young child. its a family tradition obviously, my dad taught me how to use the daisy winder and now im making enough so i too can make the dress and continue it. its a really fun tool and i dont see it talked about very often so i loved seeing this video.

I've been watching a lot of wedding dress videos, and now I feel like making lots of daisies and attaching them to a dress.

I have only ever seen plastic static daisy makers, this is SO COOL

Nice! I'm on the lookout for one of those.

My grandma made it for our door way when I was a child. The crochet stayed for 1/2 a decade before losing it's integrity. R.I.P Grandma. Always loved you.

I loooove vintage tools of all sorts. In Germany we have whole shoes dedicated to ppl guessing what such vintage tools were used for or getting one explained. And it's so educating and broadens the perspective!

never seen one of those! I shall be keeping my eyes peeled when charity shop trawling 😉 Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your daisy project 😊

You could also sew the flowers on a garment like a blouse or dress. That would be cute :)

Omg 1 million views! Congrats! I love your whole daisy blouse series. Rooting for you to finish! And then put it all together in a compilation! 😊

I've had a couple of those tools in my shop for at least 30 years and thanks to your video I've learned what they are for!!!

I've used it in my childhood! Nostalgic feeling!

I had one of these but plastic I believe when I was about 12. I’m 67 now. I used to make “everlasting soles” (my own brand name😀) I used raffia ribbon to make two daisies and then plaited more raffia so it went around middle toe and tied up at ankle. I thought I was very darned clever!

I obtained a second-hand booklet which had a pattern that kept talking about a daisy maker. Thank you now I know what the pattern is saying when it says to make 30 daisies.❤

Brings back some memories. I saw that in the early 1970's. I love the sound. I even want to play with it back then but nobody wants to allow me to. Now, I found out what it's use for.

Everyone's so creative!

I made a 100 in X 100in tablecloth using that method from 1968 to 1971, working evenings only. I still have it and it is not damaged in any way.

Omg! I forgot all about these! ❤ My mom and I used to make these all the time! We'd make granny square throws, pillows, etc and attach the daisies afterwards ❤❤

Oh, my gosh, I remember using one of those in my last life! I knew exactly how to use it as soon as I saw it! So so nice to see one of those again. Lovely, indeed!

I made a daisy afghan back in the 1970s with this. Yellow & orange daisy bond together with green crocheting. Took a long time to complete. 😊

Wow blast from the past - my grandmother had one of these she dug out of her endless stash and gave to me for my cousin and I to make daisies

👍👍 awesome little gadget, very cool! I don't know a lot about crochet but I've used something like this to make pom-poms 👍

Wow..that's how you use it and finish the piece...thank you!!!!!🎉

That is the coolest crochet gadget I’ve seen yet. Very nice indeed 💯

Wow, that's a memory I had forgotten. Sitting at my great grandma's house when I was little, making these all day when I was out of school sick. She had me making these while she watched her soaps. I just remember it being so much fun and calming.

I was a crochet designer for publication for 15 years and have never seen this! Nice find!!

That feeling when things sold new while you were a kid are now considered vintage 👵🏻

You unlocked a memory! My mom had one of those when I was little and I played with it a lot. Inever knew what it was used for!

I knew what that was! My mother started her knitting and crocheting with one of those. I remember her crocheting doilies using a butter bowl and starch to make them stand up. They were quite pretty

The way I confidently answered “yes! It’s an old spark plug regulator!”

I have two of those. One from both of my grandmothers 😊 I used one to make a few daisies out of crochet thread to mend a twin size bedspread that someone had made for grandma Olson.

I have a plastic flower/daisy maker I've had for nearly 50 years. It has plastic pegs that you wrap wool round but it has ones so you can make a centre daisy as well. I made a baby blanket for my sister-in-law by crocheting around each flower to turn in into a sort of granny square then crchetimg them all together.

Many of the girls in my class at primary school, 50 years ago, had quite well engineered plastic ones of these, from Japan. I remember them not because of the daisy-making, but because they were brightly coloured plastic and worked in a mechanical fashion. Plastic wasn't always a thing in the world, and certainly not in things made specifically for kids. I also remember that there was another thing in the set, that had a cylinder body, a hole down its long access, and a button on the bottom that made a number of prongs poke up from the "top" flat of the cylinder. And the girls used to do a kind of winding and alternating weaving of the wool around the pins, and the result was a long loose "tube" shape. Which they added to the daisy shapes, and made a kind of ribbed cloth from them.

I have the modern version of the Dailey maker. Great to see the forerunner 🎉❤❤❤

That is so unique! What a clever gadget!

I want one that would make my hobby life so much easier.

I remember these from the 1960's. They were advertised on TV.

Memory unlocked! My mom had one of those. I played with it a lot when I was little but i never knew what it was for!

Vintage! It felt that it could be put to use even today!

My mom (and us kids) were heavy into crochet in the 70's. Mom would get us to make MANY of these daisies for her!

European obsession with fluffy little things never ceases to amaze me.

I love this project!

Oh goodness! There was one of these in my grandma's sewing kit and I had no idea what it was for. I thought it might have been a sewing machine attachment. I have to go find it now!

I love crocheting and knitting. It's one of my favorite skills I have. I learned about weaving when I was seven, my neighbor who lived above me was an older native American woman and she would sit outside her front door every day and crochet a blanket and I decided to get to know her because I thought she was beautiful and magical. I fell in love with her right away and she ended up getting me my first crochet needle and yarn for my 8th birthday. I crocheted thousands of granny squares and made my first blanket in the first month. I never learned how to crochet I just watched her and I mimicked her until I understood how to make my own patterns.

My mom had one of those when we were kids. We knew exactly what it was. The transforming throwing star of a NINJA!

When I was a kid, I learned how to do this with a small knitting loom, I didn't know there was a specific gadget! That's so cool!

I actually had a square version of this tool, and the spines retracted, so once you sewed the petals together you could pop it off the gadget. I made a blanket from these, it was probably in the 70s :)

I found one of these before in a box of random items. Could never figure out what it was for... Thanks for solving a 20+ year old mystery for me.

My mum has one of these. I don't think I ever saw her use it, but I had a lot of fun playing with it

That is so beautiful and such a cool tool.

My grandma used to cutout a cardboard using multiple turns like a spider web and teach me this but her version turned out a marigolds rather than a daisy. Overall it was a good memory and I miss her so much

Oh, THAT'S what that was. I remember finding one of those in my grandmother's house when I was a kid. Decades later, I finally find out.

My mom had one of these and she made beautiful shawls with the daisies.

I use to have one years ago. I made little flowers to go on barrettes/hair clips for little girls hair. I lost it during a move . Thank You for the memories ☺️

I have a baby blanket made 44yrs ago like this this it’s beautiful, Mrs. E. B. was in her 80’s

My mother made a single bed bedspread for my room when I was a little girl. Pale pink daisies and pink satin backing and a beautiful edge.

My mother use to make it before❤ Really bring back memories❤

I inherited one of these, with my grandmother’s craft and sewing stuff! I never knew what it was until now!!

My mom has one from her grand-aunt and we never imagined what was! THANK YOU!!!

In Australia these Daisy looms are still available and plastic vetsions are available too. They look lovely made in raffia as well as ribbon and can be used as decorative elements on just sbout anything!

I still have a couple of these from when I was younger and just learning to crochet and knit.

Love seeing these short clips of your work. 😊

How adorable!

In 8th grade we had to find, identify spring flowers and present them in a book we'd made. I covered my spring flower book with white daisies with yellow middles, made on a little daisy maker like you're showing. I liked it so much and got a good grade on the assignment. I haven't seen a daisy maker like that in many decades. I wish I could find one!

I love that. I've always wanted one. Great job.

I'm having this tool and yes I know how to make daisy flowers. God bless you 😇

This reminds me of my sweet old days. I use to wear daisy poncho made by my mom in early 80s.

You can do the exact same thing with a mini circular knitting loom. I also used the same smol knitting loom to make the rainbow shell for a crochet turtle. Rather you you use this metal daisy maker or the mini plastic loom, both are fantastic tools that can do more than make flowers! 😊

Have seen modern versions in plastic. Can also be made on a small round loom or a wheel. Individual dasisies are great for adding to hats and scarves.
