My mother made me an afghan with one of these when i was young. It's yellow and white flowers with black centers on a field of green. She's long gone and it's one of my most treasured possessions.
I was thinking that it was much easier to understand the first time I watched you do this! Yes, this looks very doable in your longer tutorial. But granny squares already taught me how much I hate sewing/crocheting masses of small things together.
😭no!! That would haunt me. That is so…. People are the worst sometimes. But perhaps think of it as someone really needed the warmth and you gave that to them. Albeit unwillingly😭
Sometimes the world sucks. I made an ultrasuede bomber jacket. My 1st time working with thick fabric, & making a tailored garment. I spent an age looking for the perfect notions. At the time, it was the most $$ I [poor college student] had ever spent on a project. The only time I wore it, it was stolen at a party. If it's any consolation, at least your skill & effort was appreciated as an object of desire. 🤕🤕🤕
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. 😁😁👍👍
Great story! I come from a long line of story tellers who would have spun a similar yarn if asked about an unfamiliar tool. Obviously, no one at the thrift store knew what it was or it wouldn't have been mixed in with kitchen items.
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! I had a plastic version with the spokes facing up and a hole in the centre to sew through, in the 70s/80s it was called a flower loom! Great ideas just keep coming back!!😊
YES! The KnitWit! I was thrilled to find a set about a decade ago from Bucilla. Fun as heck. Making a poncho with the square one out of ribbon yarn to go with my Easter outfit. Hot pink and bright orange. Old yarn stuff is 🔥
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 🥹
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!
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
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!!
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!!!!
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!
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 ❤❤
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.❤
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 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.
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 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 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.
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
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.
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 ☺️
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!
That's the thing about these PhDs (ha love that I'm definitely using it from now on.) It's not so much about finishing them as getting them a bit more finished! 😁
Phd's. That's brilliant! I've got a lot of them due to the same reason. It's a good thing they'll still be there when you get some energy to finish them. I hope you'll get better soon. 💐
A few years ago I made a decision to get any open projects done. I did work on them. Now I have a couple. I try not to start a new one until I have an old one out of the way.
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
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
Omg. That was so weird the feeling that gave me. I knew immediately what it was cos my mum had one in her sewing cabinet. Bam! Nostalgia! I love that you are doing this. I love all things fabric, textiles and sewing
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 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.
Have one of those at home. Came in an old sewing kit I inherited. For years it was just a mystery item. Found out half a year ago what it does. You juat motivated me to finally start using it. I think my kids will be able to wrap the yarn. Just sowing them together will be my part.

What I'd like to see is the test written correctly. It says "wall" where it should say "wool".
Unfortunately the link is not available in the UA-cam app. Please, could you put it in a pinned comment for us app users? Thanks!!
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.
That's amazing!!
I lovvveeee Miss Marple 🥺❤️
I love it, which episode it might be❤
@@mrsgingernoisette I’m sorry I don’t recall it was one of the newer seasons in the very beginning of the episode
Oh I love miss Marple. We have them on DVD. I think just the older ones, there might be newer episodes. But it's so good.
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.
Yes, me too!!
😂
You know what you must do.
Finally !
LOL LOL 😂🎉😂
When I hear "vintage" used by a young (er) person, my inner child gives a chuckle ❤
Mine says 'my friend's mom had that' or even 'I have one of those!' and I feel so vintage
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.
😭no!! That would haunt me. That is so…. People are the worst sometimes.
But perhaps think of it as someone really needed the warmth and you gave that to them. Albeit unwillingly😭

I think the store clerk was having the loan of you. In fact, I know he was.
Ive seen them and had no clue what they were for ❤ thanks for the video 😊
I originally thought it was for baking too, until I saw the pins
This ol' grandma still has hers.
I cannot wait to see them all crocheted together!
These are so much easier to use than those goofy plastic ones like to be able to retract those pins is KEY
Never have I wanted to see a modern version of this more than now.
Search under Daisy Maker
Most are plastic nowadays.

I think I still have one, found at a thrift store or maybe a yard sale in the late 90s.
I had one of those too. My mother made yellow daisies with green around the bottom
I'd swear there were commercials for this on TV when I was a kid and I wanted one so bad.
Oh Wow! I had a plastic version with the spokes facing up and a hole in the centre to sew through, in the 70s/80s it was called a flower loom! Great ideas just keep coming back!!😊

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.
Woooo...my childhood memories❤. My mom used to make it and i used to help her make the daisies❤
Oh wow! This brought an old forgotten memory back from my childhood with my grand! I’m 70. 😉
I'm 71. I've used one but didn't have the energy to make the other thousand. They are still around. And sold in England.
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.
In the East Bay?
If so, then hello neighbor!
If not, hello fellow vintage notions buyer!
Ah, no. There's a place in Pittsburgh PA that goes by the same name! Makes me happy that there are multiple places like it!@@lisascenic
My mom had one of these, and I always wondered how it worked! Thank you!
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.
These would make GREAT Girl Scout Swaps !
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!
It's kinda like how in some board games different people have different win conditions. I gotta say, your win condition is pretty cool.
I would use those daisies on a veil and/or wedding dress. So 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! 😊
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.
Wow..that's how you use it and finish the piece...thank you!!!!!🎉
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 🥹
I want one! 😍 I'd love to see a full project made with daisies. Maybe a lightweight cloak?
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!!!
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!
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 had a flower loom too as a kid! This reminded me so much of it. Fun crafting memories as a kid
Yeah, that part didn't make a lot of sense...but I guess to each their own.
What is a flower loom? Like this but bigger?
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!!
I just found you !!! I am here for it all 🎉
I have only ever seen plastic static daisy makers, this is SO COOL
I've used it in my childhood! Nostalgic feeling!
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!!!!
Nice! I'm on the lookout for one of those.
Mine was very cheap off eBay! It's worth taking a look. I don't think a lot of people know what they are 🌼
A literal "Daisy" making crotchet tool. Awesome
That is the coolest crochet gadget I’ve seen yet. Very nice indeed 💯
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!
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 ❤❤
Loved this short. Well done.
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
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!
Vintage crochet gadget, my new favorite thing! 🧶
I want one that would make my hobby life so much easier.
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.❤
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 😊
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.
You could also sew the flowers on a garment like a blouse or dress. That would be cute :)
I have the modern version of the Dailey maker. Great to see the forerunner 🎉❤❤❤
That is so unique! What a clever gadget!
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.
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 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.

Everyone's so creative!
I still have a couple of these from when I was younger and just learning to crochet and knit.

Congratulations and thanks
I'm having this tool and yes I know how to make daisy flowers. God bless you 😇
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.
I was a crochet designer for publication for 15 years and have never seen this! Nice find!!
I inherited one of these, with my grandmother’s craft and sewing stuff! I never knew what it was until now!!
👍👍 awesome little gadget, very cool! I don't know a lot about crochet but I've used something like this to make pom-poms 👍
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. 😊
My mother use to make it before❤
Really bring back memories❤
My mom had one of these and she made beautiful shawls with the daisies.
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.
That feeling when things sold new while you were a kid are now considered vintage 👵🏻
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 ☺️
My mom had one of those when we were kids. We knew exactly what it was.
The transforming throwing star of a NINJA!
Vintage! It felt that it could be put to use even today!
That is so beautiful and such a cool tool.
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
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!
WOW i always wondered how they made them so perfect all the time
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!
That's the thing about these PhDs (ha love that I'm definitely using it from now on.) It's not so much about finishing them as getting them a bit more finished! 😁
That's a good way of sounding more intelligent! Talking about all your PhDs! (I am not calling you unintelligent though!) 😁
Phd's. That's brilliant!
I've got a lot of them due to the same reason. It's a good thing they'll still be there when you get some energy to finish them. I hope you'll get better soon. 💐
I sew not crochet but I’ve usually heard UFOs, UnFinished Objects, but PHDs is good, too
A few years ago I made a decision to get any open projects done. I did work on them. Now I have a couple. I try not to start a new one until I have an old one out of the way.
That's so neat! Love it! I never saw that before, thanks!
I love that. I've always wanted one. Great job.
This reminds me of my sweet old days. I use to wear daisy poncho made by my mom in early 80s.
I remember these from the 1960's. They were advertised on TV.
I have a baby blanket made 44yrs ago like this this it’s beautiful, Mrs. E. B. was in her 80’s
My mom has one from her grand-aunt and we never imagined what was! THANK YOU!!!
I subscribed because I am a tool maker, and I appreciate learning about different tools
Ooooh I need to find one!
This would work perfectly for little dorset buttons!!!
Wow I LOVE how it's so fast you can't see!!! (Sarcasm)
A keyring with 1or2 would look fabulous
I recently bought one off of eBay. It's so much fun! ❤
I remember TV ads for this. I'm officially vintage now.
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

Thank you so much. I have three. Didn't know how to use them.
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!
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 grandmother made these…but they eventually made a loom where you made panels of these instead of making them individually.
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 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.
I love this project!
Have one of those at home. Came in an old sewing kit I inherited. For years it was just a mystery item.
Found out half a year ago what it does. You juat motivated me to finally start using it. I think my kids will be able to wrap the yarn. Just sowing them together will be my part.
Adorable.
Until the close up, I thought it was the clanging metal from a tambourine.
Oh it does look very similar!
@@RetroClaude yes, except there's that closed shaft instead of an open hole
I have one and never knew what it was used for. Thank you!
