The Neverending Harry Potter Scarf

Remember yesterday when I said I like small simple projects?  Here is why. 

I have been working on this scarf very slowly for years.  I think I started it not long after the first Harry Potter movie came out.  Its only about 2 feet long right now.  I have given up on it ever being long enough for me to wear.  I have sworn to myself that it will be finished when the last Harry Potter movie comes out.  I am knitting with size 7 needles which was my first mistake.  I like small fast projects, I should have used larger yarn and larger needle.  Oh well, its the project I pull out when I need something mindless.  When I should be in bed but I still cant sleep.  Do you have projects like this?
