Double Knitting - what a brilliant way to double your hat stash.
This is the Celtic Beanie pattern from Son of Stitch 'n Bitch: 45 Projects to Knit and Crochet for Men. Men? Oops. My bad.
Anyway - I used Berroco Ultra Alpaca in Pitch Black and Lovage. It doesn't itch and it's super warm and soft. The technique of double knitting allows one to knit both sides at once - a reverse image. It was a fun pattern. I had to decrease the number of rows by about 10 to fit my female head.
This is where I spent a few hours knitting this past Saturday. The view was amazing... the weather
was beautiful (60's!), and I had it all to myself. 
The weekend was filled with a few hours of quality car-travel knitting time. I was able to pick up working on my socks, and I've fallen in love with them, especially now that the cables show up beautifully when worn.

Oh man, that is some seriously blue sky. Where is that, the top of your house?
Awesome hats! Er, I mean, Hat. I love the double knitting.
WOW, you weren't kidding. That's an amazing view from your rent-a-deck in Salida!
The hat turned out absolutely fantastic.
