Galentine’s Day with the Worsted Witches: A Trunk Show to Remember
Yesterday, the Worsted Witches gathered at Lost Tavern Brewing in Hellertown for what might just be our best Galentine’s Day celebration yet—a trunk show with Briana Luppino of The Little Wolf Knits. It was everything I love about our group: good friends, great conversation, and way too much yarn (not that I’m complaining).
Briana has been a favorite dyer of mine for years, so getting to host her again for a second trunk show felt extra special. This time, we made it even more exciting by featuring an exclusive colorway—Potion & Purl, created just for the Worsted Witches. A deep, moody, magical shade, it perfectly captures the energy of our group, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. If you couldn’t make it to the event, you can still pre-order it here. Trust me, you’ll want to get your hands on this one.
Of course, no fiber event is complete without some serious stash enhancement. And let’s just say… we did not hold back. Briana brought so many incredible yarns, and I walked away with more than a few skeins. I finally picked out the perfect yarn for the Alchemy Pullover by Knit California—a beautiful blue shade on her Sunfish base, which is soft, bouncy, and perfect for the drapey silhouette of that design. And since I clearly don’t have enough projects on my needles already, I’m using Potion & Purl for Briana’s new garter stitch sweater pattern. Two sweaters added to the queue in one afternoon? Sounds about right.
Meanwhile, the non-knitters in our lives found their own way to pass the time. Our partners claimed a section of the bar, pretending not to notice the increasing number of yarn-filled tote bags appearing at our table. There were some amused glances, a few resigned sighs, and I think at least one “Are you sure you need more yarn?” But at this point, they know better than to fight it.
The best part of the day, though, wasn’t just the yarn (even though, let’s be real, that was a huge highlight). It was the chance to celebrate friendship and creativity with this amazing group of people. The Worsted Witches has grown into something really special—a place where we can escape for a few hours, share our love for fiber arts, and just enjoy each other’s company.
If you missed this one, don’t worry—there’s always something fun coming up. Be sure to follow @TheWorstedWitches on Instagram and join our Discord (link in bio) so you don’t miss our next event. In the meantime, I’ve got some serious sweater knitting to do.
Until next time—happy stitching!

The Worsted Witches Join Knit for Food 2025 to Fight Hunger and Build Community
We are thrilled to announce that The Worsted Witches will be participating in the Knit for Food Knit-a-Thon for the third consecutive year! This 12-hour knitting marathon is dedicated to combating hunger and food insecurity, with all funds raised equally distributed among four impactful organizations: Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels.
About the Event
Since its inception, the Knit for Food Knit-a-Thon has united crafters from around the globe to support those in need. In 2021, participants raised $265,810; in 2022, $271,761; in 2023, $340,000; and in 2024, an impressive $379,010. Collectively, that's just shy of $1 million dedicated to fighting hunger!
This year, we aim to set a new record, and we invite you to join us in this meaningful endeavor.
Beneficiary Organizations
Feeding America: As the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization, Feeding America works tirelessly to connect people with food and end hunger across the United States.
World Central Kitchen (WCK): Founded by Chef José Andrés, WCK uses the power of food to heal communities and strengthen economies during times of crisis and beyond. Notably, WCK provides meals that are familiar to local demographics, ensuring comfort and dignity for those they serve. Recently, WCK has been on the ground in Southern California, offering free hot meals to first responders and the public affected by the wildfires.
No Kid Hungry: Dedicated to ending child hunger in America, No Kid Hungry works to ensure that every child has access to healthy food where they live, learn, and play.
Meals on Wheels: Focused on addressing senior isolation and hunger, Meals on Wheels delivers nutritious meals to seniors, helping them maintain their independence and well-being.
A Time for Unity
In a world filled with challenges, events like the Knit-a-Thon remind us of the power of community and compassion. They demonstrate that people care and are willing to come together to make a difference. This message of unity and support is more important now than ever.
Join Us
If you're in the Lehigh Valley and looking for a welcoming group to knit, crochet, or cross-stitch with, we would love for you to join The Worsted Witches. We're planning a gathering at a to-be-determined location for crafting, camaraderie, and hopefully some delicious food. Stay tuned for more details, and feel free to reach out if you're interested in participating.
Together, let's knit for a cause and show that through collective effort, we can create positive change.
