How One Knitter Transformed Her Craft (And How You Can Too!)

Twenty-two years ago, on a chilly autumn afternoon in the bustling, light-filled university cafeteria, two Jodie Morgans picked up their knitting needles. 

They were very much alike, these two Jodies. 

Both were studying Hospitality, fascinated by the handmade, and were warm-hearted, friendly people. Both were creative, both were passionate about knitting, and both dreamed of crafting beautiful, intricate pieces.

Excited to learn more, they started with a garter stitch scarf.

Recently, these Jodies crossed paths at a local yarn festival.

They were still very much alike in many ways. Both were happily married with two children. Both had worked as secondary and primary school teachers. But there was a striking difference.

One Jodie was still knitting simple scarves and blankets, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the endless possibilities of knitting.

Her goal of knitting a sweater felt unreachable.

The other Jodie had confidently made everything from a top-down cardigan, hats, gloves, cowls and many complicated colorwork and mosaic projects.

She was often asked by admiring friends and strangers how she did it.

Two passionate knitters named Jodie Morgan started their knitting journeys twenty-two years ago. Today, their skills are worlds apart.


What Made The Difference?

Though the story of the two Jodies is fictional (they’re both me!), it highlights a common experience among knitters.

Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in people's knitting journeys? It isn't natural talent or dedication. It isn't that one person wants to succeed more than the other.

The difference lies in what each person knows and how they make use of that knowledge.

And that's exactly why I want to tell you about What To Knit When You Don't Know What To Knit Next.


Introducing: Your Weekly Source For Hand-Picked Knitting Delights

What To Knit Next is a unique weekly publication I, Jodie Morgan, curate based on my 40+ years of knitting experience and 8+ years of hand-selecting the best of the knitting world for my members.

Each Time-Saving Tuesday, you'll receive:

  • Hand-selected inspirational knitting designs, from cozy cable-knit sweaters to elegant lace shawls.

  • Exclusive tips and techniques to save you time and enhance your skills: learn the secrets of everything from seamless grafting for lace edges and color management in Fair Isle knitting.

  • Insider knowledge to make you the knitting expert in your circle: discover the stories behind the designs and techniques from leading knitters.


From Overwhelmed To Inspired: My Journey

I used to be that first Jodie – overwhelmed by possibilities, stuck in a rut of simple projects, and unsure how to progress.

I spent countless hours scrolling through designs, watching videos, and buying books and magazines, only to end up more confused than when I started.

But then I discovered the power of curated knowledge and consistent inspiration. I transformed into the second Jodie – confident, skilled, and always excited about my next project.

Now, I want to help you make that same transformation.
