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! | Dill Pickle Gear 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. But also because I like to push back against the shop-til-you-drop holiday culture where we have to prove that ...
Heads up that the Dill Pickle site is down, but I'm working hard on getting it back up. If you need anything, let me know here or email [email protected]
Thanks for your patience!
