Does anyone remember the name of this knitting gadget?

Does anyone remember the knitting gadget's name from the 1960s -to 70s that you wrapped yarn around some plastic things and then it popped off to make circles that you used to make animals or whatever? I always wanted one and of course never got it for holidays. They had a lot of fun commercials showing the stuff. I have been googling around looking for it but no luck.

I think it was called a knitting Nancy?

I made my own as a kid with an empty spool of thread and some finish nails.

Oh! I used to have one of those and made a ton of those flowers. They still make them. Clover brand. Bloom looms?

I can't watch videos on my computer - darn!

They did have a cute commercial. Is that it?

Eureka! I remembered its name - Knit Wit - in a plastic box with little tools to make pompons and such. First one made in the early 1960s. There might be newer versions.

I googled that and found images of a celluloid toy with two different shapes--so cool!

Trying to find a newer one, I saw some vintage ones but plastic degrades.
