What is the name of this thing?

There was a product advertised heavily in the mid 80’s that I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of.

It had a small plastic base, possibly with pins embedded in it, attached to a short handle which held a twisting base. The idea was to wrap yarn around the pins, twist the base (it made a popping sound) and voila- fake crochet/knitted square and octagon.

Does anyone remember this product and what it was called? Did anyone ever actually use one and did it work?
