Snow Day and FO!

Why is it that, even though I’ve been out of school for umpteen years, when it snows I eagerly listen to the school closing reports to see if my district has cancelled school?  It’s not like I get to stay home from work on those days!
These are shots of yesterday’s winter storm:
  
 The sleet, freezing rain, and ice made for treacherous driving conditions yesterday, and I am blessed to work for a company that is concerned for its employees.  My office closed at 11:00 a.m. yesterday, and I got to spend a glorious afternoon curled up on the couch, watching the storm, and working on the scarf that never ends!  At 10:00 p.m., I was so close, but my fingers just couldn’t knit another stitch.  I had to finish the scarf today.
Yes – you read that correctly!  The scarf that never ends is FINISHED!  WhooHoo!  I still need to block it, but it’s done enough for Robert to wear when we go to Kansas City tomorrow.  He and Steve are going to the Big 12 Championship Game between Oklahoma and Nebraska, and he’ll need to keep warm.  He generously offered to model his new scarf for the blog.

 And, notice who’s on TV behind him?  Yup – Harry Potter himself.  “The Sorceror’s Stone” is on and provided some last minute inspiration for me to finish the fringe tonight.

I’m so excited!  This is my first official Finished Object (“FO”) since I started my blog!  (Now I really need to start my Christmas knitting! Good thing I’ll be spending 6 hours in a car this weekend.)
