In high school, I was forced to take up knitting much to my dismay. As protest, I knitted a scarf reading 'FUCK KNITTING'. Pleased with the result years later, more profanity-bearing pieces were born. The humorous, heavy- handed works play on a tension between the soft and feminine and violent speech. All pieces are hand- knit and can be worn if wished.
