Oo. Ok, nobody faint. A real craft thread from me. 
I've mentioned my OH's knitting before. Bit more background - she is Spanish, and normally they give presents on Jan 6th rather than XMas day - it's called Reyes (to do with the arrival of the wise men or literally 'magic kings' as it translates from Spanish).
So. I want to get her some knit-tastic bits and pieces to help her along with her new hobby - at the moment she has a book, subscription to simply knitting, one set of needles and a small stash of yarn (all the same).
Can anybody give me some good ideas as to something fun and useful I could get her as a new (but quite enthusiastic) knitter? I'm thinking a few different yarns (as long as we are able to get them again) - but can someone recommend a good place to get them (online - since we are stranded on a small rock!).
