I went to Gotta Knit with a serious knitting emergency. I'd found a mistake in the lace scarf I'm making, and tried to unravel a few rows, but only made the problem worse. The ladies at Gotta Knit not only fixed my scarf so I didn't lose my hard work, but were extremely patient and understanding. I can't wait to take a class there! They have a beautiful selection of yarns, and amazing patterns for all levels of knitters.

I've read with amazement the review that trashes the owners of this store. I live in Lake Tahoe and every time I come to New York, I visit Laura and Goldie. Since I am a knitter, and just starting out, I find their advice for my projects invaluable. I also like their assortment and their variety of yarn the is best. Yes, they are a kniting store, and they say that up front...hence the name. But if you are looking for a place that will help you find a KNITTING project to your level of expertise and just the right yarn to use for it, got to GottaKnit! You won't be disappointed...really!

I went to scope out the store a few days before a crochet class I was having for my friends. Same ugly cramped space with same ugly rude owner. The old location was the same, but this was the only store open in my area on the day I needed to go, so I was forced to not only give her my business and that of my 4 friends but to contend with the rude ugly attitude of the owner too. On my scouting visit, said owner was sat alone knitting something hideous as usual, I made small-talk to be polite and also to let her know that I wasn't a noob because she sizes you up like a dog and treats you as such if she thinks for a second you'll accept that behaviour, then busied myself poking around. Her eyes boring into my back following my every move while she breathed heavily made me uncomfortable. Every time I made an inquiry, I felt extremely unwelcome. I mentioned I had a group of beginner friends coming in in a few days for a crochet class and she snapped. In an abruptly condescending & snarly way she said well I'd better come early because this place gets packed in afternoons. #1 - I didn't ask. #2 - I already said we'd be coming in the afternoon and never gave the impression that was flexible. #3 - The place is always deserted. I've only ever seen 1 other customer while I was there in the history of my visits. On my second visit - we show up exactly as promised and not a single customer is seen leaving or entering during our whole trip. During it, she butted into my conversation with my friend and rudely contradicted what I was saying about a certain yarn. I ignored her tone and tried to understand what she was saying for my own education but she took it as a personal affront instead and argument instead. So, she's useless at teaching as well. Then as I went to put said yarn back properly, she berated me about messing up the yarn before I could explain that I was actually trying to put it back properly ! Note: Yarn stores are meant to provide knitting help besides the yarns
