Knit picker would maybe imply a nervous habit of pulling at strands in woollen clothing.
If we're gonna nitpick, it's actually nitpicker (no space).

"Verb nit-pick is first attested 1962, from earlier nitpicker "pedantic critic" (1951)" - note the dash!

Ok, so it's optionally hyphenated, but never with a space! I mean seriously, who uses a space in the word nit-picker?
