Here's a closeup:
The following sequence of thoughts quickly ran through my mind:
- How cute! And knitted!
- Actually, not so cute. Kind of funkily shaped.
- But knitted!
- I could do the numbers is duplicate stitch!
- I could dive into my stash!
- Knitting!
- I wonder what I could fill them with!
- Look at all the non-Christmassy colors they use.
- Am I too matchy-matchy for this?
- I wonder how long it would take me to figure out patterns?
- Should I knit the hats in the round or seam them?
- Pause a few minutes to count the mitten to hat ratio and to decide if some of the hats, those without tassels, are in fact Christmas bulbs.
- Decide they're hats.
- Get a number that doesn't come up to 24.
- Realize some of the mittens look like hats because of the angle.
- Count again.
- Realize they're in a pattern of hat, mitten, hat, mitten, etc.
- Realize what I'm doing.
- Feel like a goober.
- Look at the fireplace to see if the garland would catch fire.
- Wonder again what I'd put in them.
- Decide that chocolate, alas, would be a bad idea.
- Think most strongly about chocolate.
- Look in the kitchen to see if I've stashed any chocolate.
- Return chocolateless.
- Realize it's November 29.
- Tell myself I was crazy to even think about it.

I would probably have a lot the same conversation with myself and then, because you know, I live on a truck, I would plan on knitting it for next year, when we might actually have our house built and I could actually decorate for the holidays. Or wait, I could knit it for this year and then string it across the front windshield of the truck so that it dangles down and not only looks festive, but acts as a sun screen too. Yeah, I think that might work, but instead of hats, I think I will do small socks and small mittens....Yeah, this might just work. Now to look through the stash and see what it is that I have to do it.
Well, it might be November 29th, but ... something like this in purple, green and gold. Then you'd have a smidge more time. And you wouldn't have to do numbers. Hmmm.
I'm leaning toward not as cute as it could be/should be. But so close!
You thought process is really close to what mine would have been! :D
