Born into a crafty family in Iowa, Stephanie Hague was destined to inherit the power to turn tangled string into woven order. It was when she moved to New York City, however, that she began to harness her true power for knitted evil, turning it into an offensive but pretty art-form.

Pretty Offensive plays with concepts of profanity and wraps it in a pretty bow. The aim of the work is not actually to be profane, but rather to poke fun at the idea of offensive. By knitting, Pretty Offensive takes a craft that is very traditional and stodgy and makes it contemporary and provocative while still remaining elegant.
