Torchwood logo scarf - Updated

A lovely young lady on Ravelry.com took the time to post a Google doc of the Torchwood logo. I of course had to make my own diagram, though I referenced hers extensively (as well as, you know, the actual logo). Below is the result.

The pattern calls for two Torchwood Ts to be knit, one on either end of the scarf.  The first one is upside down, with the top bar of the T toward the middle of the scarf.  On the finished scarf, the two Ts should be rightside-up when worn.

Mom’s blue hat

This was knit flat using 29” circulars for two reasons: 1) I knit during my commute and on public transportation, where I’m not likely to get a seat, using circulars is just easier and 2) I was figuring out the pattern as I worked and that’s harder when knitting in the round. The first time I did this I had to add about 5 inches (40 stitches) after I completed most of the hat, because it was much too small around.
