Have you ever wanted to make needlepoint nipple doilies? If so, Hoopla: The Art of Unexpected Embroidery — written by Leanne Prain, the co-author of 2009’s bestselling Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet & Knit Graffiti — is the anarchistic DIY craft book for you. Hoopla‘s twenty-eight innovative embroidery patterns will teach readers how to stitch a mythical jackalope, a ransom note pillow, and mean yet dainty knuckle-tattoo church gloves.

The Home Invasion pattern — stitching six-legged intruders onto existing staid/floral table clothes, place mats, and pillow cases — was designed by Sarah Terry who was alarmed at the amount of insects she encountered in her new home.
