Crazy Daizy winders are really beautifully made. They are a solidly built tool that lasts for decades.

I was quite upset when I took my cherished old Crazy Daisy maker to a workshop that I was teaching, and somebody pinched it!

Luckily, my darlin’ sister in law was on the lookout and found me another one, complete with it’s vintage box:

The flowers in these pics were all made with the Crazy Daisy winder. You can also use spool knitted cord with the winder, to make more substantial flowers.

The thing that strikes me as being odd is that line that says: ‘For Finer Handweaving‘.

Eh? This is a kewl little flower maker, but it sure as beans is beans has NOTHING to do with weaving. Let alone ‘finer’ handweaving at that!

Although of course, you can embellish handweaving with the flower motifs…..

Anyhow, I vote ‘keepers’ for this nifty little vintage tool.

If you find one for sale, I’d say ‘goferit’.  But, don’t take it to any workshops!
