The Return of My Secret Wish Knitting

Important announcement: My Secret Wish Knitting has reopened. Same URL. Same amazing patterns and tutorials. Check it out at mysecretwish.ca!

Hi, friend,

I’m thrilled to be announcing that My Secret Wish Knitting is back from the, er, “ether”.

“Back? I never knew it was gone,” you might be saying.

Understandably so. This spring, I made the difficult decision to shut down my store and take everything offline. I couldn’t justify the expense of my tech stack, and I didn’t have the time or energy to find other options before my annual renewals started hitting me.

Also, I was pretty wiped out energetically, so I didn’t even announce the departure. My Secret Wish Knitting just… quietly disappeared.

But now, it’s back. Hopefully, for good. I’ve built the new store on a platform that will be affordable forever, so even if (God forbid) something should happen to me, my heirs could keep it going with little trouble.

If you missed my store over the past few months, now is the perfect chance to explore my pattern catalogue again as you dig into your stash for the fall knitting season. And to use a tutorial or two to help you complete your projects.

Also, be sure to check out my selection of Low Vision Accessible patterns, which are available in standard PDF, Large Print Screen-Reader-Accessible PDF, and ePUB.

I hope to get a couple new patterns published this fall and winter season, so I’ll be back to tell you when those are available.

Happy knitting, magic maker. Thanks for continuing on this journey with me.

P.S. I’d love to hear what’s on your needles now (or next). Let me know in the comments!

(I’m working on a sample for a new cabled sock pattern, and a lace shrug I’ve had on my needles since 2016… but that I might actually finish this winter!)
