My trip to Knit Kit was interesting, to say the least. I did a POI search in my GPS to find it. The search revealed several web listings on different websites all showing the same address. I still ended up driving by it twice, though. It's in a complex that looks like it was almost certainly a low end motel at some point, and several of the units have satellite dishes (suggesting that they are private residences). Since I had trouble finding the place, I took the picture that appears here on Yelp to help others find the business.
As I was unbuckling my four month old son from his carseat, an older woman comes up to me and asks in a hostile tone why I'm taking pictures of Knit Kit. I explain that it was for Yelp, a business review website. The lady proceeds to say to me: "No. She's not on any websites. Knit Kit? No. You don't take picturesof her. She'll kill you."
Now, I'm a 32 year-old, roughly 210 pound male. So I'm not going to pretend that I felt threatened by this small woman. I still think it's poor form to threaten a person's life while that person is tending to his infant, however.
My wife and I still tried to go in, despite this initial adversarial welcome. When I tried turning the door handle, it was locked. What kind of a business isn't open at 2:30 PM on a Wednesday?
In summary, a seedy location with inconvenient hours guarded by an ill-tempered woman (who may or may not be affiliated with the business, but threatens your life on behalf of the business owner). I don't think my wife or I will be returning. That stinks, too. This place is way closer to our home than the place in Westfield where my wife usually goes.
...and to the sentry of Knit Kit, please note that there were two reviews on here before today. So Knit Kit apparently is on the web. Sorry to disappoint you. read more
