I'm Wendy. I rediscovered the craft of knitting again in 2010 when I stumbled upon the joy of knitting socks on 4/5 double pointed needles. Most of my items are socks but also some wrist warmers, hats, scarves and occasionally other small items. All my items are designed by me and I love to experiment with different wools. Also, I enjoy dyeing yarns and seeing what interesting colours evolve in the process.

Before this rediscovery I learned to knit when I was very young, and was taught by my grandmother. I knitted lots of things in those days but always using a pattern!

Sunshine Cottage is the name of my house. I am very fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the world. The Cotswolds always reveal beautiful colours, whatever the weather, which give me the inspiration for my designs.

My crafts are purely a hobby, and selling them through Folksy gives me the opportunity to share my passion for knitting!
