My husband found a Daisy-Loom from his mother's belongings today. I'm online seeing if anyone has tried using one of these and what their results are.

I facilitate a small knit and crochet group at our church and I like to take things like this in for show and tell.

I like the collection that you have. I can only imagine the story behind each of them.

Hi Chargette!
Thankyou for your lovely comment. I hope you find what you are looking for. There are vintage books still available showing what can be made using these daisy looms. I know also that the vintage Patons Woolcraft book has a pattern for a baby shawl/blanket using the daisy loom/wheel. So wonderful to have a show and tell with your knit and crochet church group, wish I could be there!!
