While visiting family for the holidays, I was lucky enough to get away from everything and meet up with a friend who lives in the area that was able to get away from everything too.
She suggested we meet at this wonderful shop, called Knit and Stitch in Cocoa Village.
This shop was great. It's biggest allure is that they are very customer-oriented. It may seem strange that a small business wouldn't focus on making customers feel welcome, but trust me, I've been there and it isn't pretty. But that was not the case at Knit and Stitch.
The setup of the store is very nice. There's a big table in the middle of the shop, with comfortable full backed desk chairs around it. There were other people sitting at the table when I arrived, and before I even sat down, one of the ladies offered me refreshments. It seems that the regulars help by welcoming newcomers, which is very nice.
Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Advice was offered in a positive way, as was encouragement and praise.
One product that stood out were afghan kits from Art Yarns. Sample afghans were hung from the display as well as on the chairs.
This store is crochet friendly, but I didn't see crochet specific products. There was also a good amount of cross stitch, but I avoided that side of the store because I don't have the time to get sucked into anything else.
I'm sure I'll go back when I get the chance, it was a really great experience.
Thanks for coming out and knitting with me Hannah, and for showing me this awesome store!

I would have to agree with you Shevon that Knit and Stitch’s customer friendly service is a big draw. Along with the selection of quality yarns, it is a big reason why I keep going back to the store. I always enjoy my time spent there. (However, it is hard for me to bring any of my kids there -since it is a smaller store filled with tempting yummy yarns. Yet, who could blame them, really? So I typically go in there for just a few minutes when I have one of them in tow.) I, being both a crocheter and a knitter, am extremely grateful that I don’t have to be project picky when I go there to work on something amongst fellow yarn fanatics. The store offers a wide range of classes, both in knitting and crochet. Their focus is more on yarns for garments; you will see only a few lace weights. The books may be scarce now, but there is a lending library that is in the works for sometime later this year. I am really glad I got to meet up with you at the store. Thanks for coming!
