My wife and I, both growing up in the 1980s remember this TV commercial for a crocheting tool. It consisted of a wheel with spikes sticking out that you wrapped around with yarn, and then attached another wheel with the same beside it, and then popped a button on the top. The slogan was "just a few simple stitches and pop". My wife loves crocheting, and as a gimmick I'd love to buy her one of those pop kits, but I can't remember what they were called.

Calling all those born in the 1970s, please help, thanks.
 
corking; such a dirty name for such an innocent hobby.


can you imagine? "son, where's your grandma?" "she's in the living room corking with the neighbours."

Seriously, my grandmother taught me how to cork when I was a kid! She got me a kit from Honest Eds, I made about a dozen tea pot holders that summer.
