I went on the official grand opening day. Really great selection (Malabrigo, 220 superwash, ella rae, etc) at very reasonable prices and lots of sample knits. Seems like a great shop; I'd like to visit again soon!

Oooh, the malabrigo! A whole wall of it! Lots of other yummy yarns, but I was too wooed by the malabrigo to see anything else! I will go back there OFTEN!

I love it! Every knitter in Orange County should go at least once to know the location and talk to Lauren (the owner).

She was super nice and helpful (so was her husband) even though my friend and I were lost and called like three times to finally find out where it was.

It's right by the bridal store by the way, and the street is a one way street so you can't U-turn if you pass it so be careful!

I bought Luna Cascade Yarn, in a BEAUTIFUL color (so far this is my favorite yarn), it's very soft and 100% Peruvian cotton. <3

Oh and they have free See's lollipops by the couches ^_^

Everyone is very patient and very helpful. I like to browse for a long time before choosing what to focus on and they let me enjoy myself before helping me.

I love going to the store. I am amazed at the patience and caring of Lauren and Sue.
The yarns are fantastic and the atmosphere there is so warm and friendly.
This is the first time I have actually finished a project and it would have never happened without the help from both gals and sometimes even from fellow knitters.
I hope I am now on your email list.

WOW - what a wonderful find....I have been going to this shop for a while and the yarn is wonderful. Lots of fashionable choices of yarn & patterns. More importantly there are lots of samples to help me make a decision on what I'd like to make. Ive gone into stores and just stare at the beautiful yarn and have no idea what I want to make, but I go to Knit Schtick and there are just so many wonderful choices - where do i begin. Lauren & Sue are terrific, if you have a question they are there to help you! Lauren's ideas are limitless and she'll make you look good. Sue's knitting skills are limitless, there is nothing that Sue can't show you how to do or make. Don't miss this wonderful store......

I visited this shop at the end of '10 during a small Orange County yarn crawl, and although the vibe was a little off to me (don't know what that was) the customer service was on POINT.

The environment was clean, organized, well laid out. Lots of light, ample seating (with nice chairs), a really nice group of ladies just sitting, knitting and chatting, some snacks and beverages available. I bought a skein of Malabrigo Sock (there was LOTS of Malabrigo) and the owner had my yarn wound up for me while she told me about classes that they offered and gave me water. Although I was visiting from out of town, if I make a trip down in that area I would absolutely stop by, even if just to hang out and knit. I really enjoyed this shop a lot.
