Ep 147: Enchanting Pins & Crafting Awareness (Emily from Kitty With A Cupcake)

✨ This week on Knit A Spell, we’re diving into the magical world of enamel pins, creative adaptation, and the power of fiber community! ✨

I’m joined by Emily O’Brien, the creative mastermind behind Kitty with a Cupcake and co-organizer of the Fiber Witch Festival! Emily’s work blends playful design with meaningful awareness, creating conversation-starting products that celebrate identity, magic, and fiber arts.

🔮 In this episode, we discuss:
• How Kitty with a Cupcake started and evolved into a full-time creative business
• The Pride Pals Interchangeable Pin System—the cutest way to share your identity with the world! 🏳️‍🌈✨
• The magic of fiber festivals and what it’s like to co-run Fiber Witch Festival
• The intersection of witchcraft, geek culture, and creative self-expression
• Why embracing fun and whimsy makes topics like LGBTQ+ identity and neurodiversity more approachable
• Emily’s dream product (you’re gonna want this to happen ASAP!)
