Hi! I’m Talena Winters.

I started My Secret Wish Knitting in 2010 to empower and delight knitting heroes like you who want to elevate your knitting and make magic with yarn. When I’m not concocting new yarn potion recipes, I’m creating story magic as a fantasy and romance author and fiction editor (at talenawinters.com). I live with my family and pets in the Peace Country of northern Alberta, Canada, where sweater weather lasts at least nine months a year and my closest neighbours are bears and wood nymphs.

As of April 2025, My Secret Wish Knitting has closed its doors. You can still access my video tutorials on my YouTube channel.

Thank you for your support of my business. To learn more about my books, visit www.talenawinters.com.
