My first time happened over 20 years ago now when our daughters were only 9 and 11, Australian Crochet magazine came to interview me.
Here is my very first 2 page write up in a magazine.
It is the best photo of my wedding gown that I crocheted and wore 37 years ago.
I have it stashed here at home with a few other boxes that have had to be labelled historical crochet as I have been creating for so long. One day I can have a” Historical review of Crochet as captured by Jenny King” as have so many pieces that I couldn’t ever part with. T
he only thing I don’t seem to have kept is the first poncho I made when I was 10. Featured in this article were my delicate beaded bags and some of the garments featured in my book Summer Collection. The top Anthea is wearing could be reworked and worn today. But she would need the grown up version NOW!
I took this magazine when I first travelled to USA for the CGOA conference in Seattle ,Washington.
This year is CGOA’s silver anniversary and I will be teaching every class allocation possible. I’ve come a long way since the first newspaper article and magazine article and I thought I would take a walk down memory lane over the next few weeks with your permission.
