This is actually more of a booklet than a book but the charts are nice and big which is always appreciated. It is The Handknitted Christmas Stocking Book by Edward Myatt. Here are the projects in it:

I started working on a double knit hat. Double knitting is slow going but fun nonetheless. The pattern is called Double Knit Hats by Nancy Lindberg and I got the pattern at Vintage Knits. I may have to start over because I don't think I will have enough yarn. This hat also has a modified French hem which was fun. Essentially you do the long tail cast on (a provisional one would have been easier) knit a few rows, rip out the cast on then fold and double knit the two sides together.
I may scrap the double knit hat and get started on a tam for the Tamalong on ASOFlives.
