West Village
Gotta Knit
Tucked away on the second floor of a nondescript walk-up, this secret spot is packed with perhaps enough yarn to wind around Manhattan. While its selection of haute skeins ($9–$60) and vintage buttons (from $4) are a bit pricey for beginners, GK also offers private lessons ($50 per hour) and unlike most stitchers’ shops, actually stays open past sundown on Thursday nights. 498 Sixth Ave between 12th and 13th Sts, second floor (212-989-3030)
The Point Knitting Café
Solo fiber-arts lovers can meet like-minded folks for espresso and cupcakes at this inviting shop. Snap up a ball or two of bulky tweed ($9) from one of the wire baskets hanging on the Peg-Board walls and a copy of The Happy Hooker ($16) before crocheting the afternoon away in its homey lounge. 37A Bedford St at Carmine St (212-929-0800)
