Recent magazines that use yarn you can buy at Yarnia

I went through some recent magazines to see how many of the  projects a knitter could make from yarns I have in stock in the store.   You can see the list here.
If you want a yarn from a company that I buy from, I can always order it for you.  I am also happy to help you figure out yarn substitutions.

The new Interweave Knit Accessories magazine (enough patterns that it is really a book)  is in stock as well as the latest Cast on Magazine.  This issue of cast has tutorials in lace and the basic watch cap.  Cat bordhi's latest book is back in stock.  Also new this week is Vogue's Shawls andWraps, crazy Lace, Priscilla's Tabi socks, Susan Anderson's Itty-bitty toys.
New pattern books from Sirdar include Tiny tot essentials, ooh la la, doll wardrobe 2.
New pattern books from Dale of Norway (including the new ski book and baby books)
New yarns in: noro silk garden, Dale of norway Falk, Cascade colors, Feza sparkly stuff (Festival, jewel, alp premier, alp oriental, alp dazzle)

Some random gift thoughts:
If you are making something for someone, have someone take your picture doing it.  What a lovely thing it would be to have blanket, sweater etc and the picture of the person who thought enough of you to make you something.
Dishcloths (round or square ) wrapped around a bar of soap or included in a bag with soap makes a thoughtful but economical gift.

If your are starting to think gifts either to buy or to hint at:

Tip to make your computer help you:  The search button (it probably has the yahoo or google symbol) at the top of your browser is very handy.  Old patterns will call for 4 oz of wool.  Most yarns are now put up in  3.5 oz (100 gram ) skeins. You can put 16oz to grams in the google search button and it will give you exactly how many grams that is (453 grams).  Now you know that you need 5 skeins.  You can also use this space to convert centimeters to inches.  If you enter 92 centimeters to inches, it will tell you that 92 Cm is 36 inches.

google translate or Bablefish  are great websites to translate that german pattern on the back of your yarn to English.  (it will translate other languages as well)
