As you may know, every year I like to post a free pattern or tutorial showing how to make an item that's useful and practical. What better day than Black Friday to make a home made gift for someone!
This year's project is a roll with a cloth napkin for carrying your own portable utensils, and avoid just a little more single-use plastic. If you have fabric left over from making face masks, this is a great way to use some of it!

I went a different direction for this year’s Pickle Project. It’s a beginner knitting book I wrote for my niece and nephew!
Designed to get you from zero to a finished project right away, and it’s the perfect time of year to keep your ears warm too.
Use it yourself, or include it in a knitting kit for a friend who wants to learn!

Pickle project – learn to knit! Posted on January 27, 2020 by Emily O'Brien Hi there, project pals! As you know, I post free projects and tutorials to share my love of making cool stuff.
