I recognize that face all too well - the "damn, that sure didn't go as I expected.... MOM!!!!!" I see what you mean about the mitten - it does have sort of a Southwestern flavor to it. If you don't like it - rip and redo! What fabulous pictures!! I recognize that face all too well - the “damn, that sure didn’t go as I expected…. MOM!!!!!”

I think it looks very nice, but really: if you're not entirely satisfied now, you're not going to be more satisfied later. I LOVE the blues and browns, though, and wonder if it would be pretty reworked to use just those three colors? Ladybug infestations are the WORST. I had them in college, my Ex had them in his first apartment. You learn to hate ladybugs, despite their supposed harmlessness. Your kitty's face in that last shot is to die for!!

As for the mittens, you'd probably be happier in the end if you ripped, but if it was me I know I'd just keep going and then give them away because I hate frogging things. They're gorgeous anyway (but I can see what you mean about the yellow). PLEASE submit that last picture to Cute Overload!

And I do mean both of them. I'm not really sure a darker shade of blue would keep it from the current "native american" feel. And...Phoebe is Badorable. j I think you should finish them.

The kitty is too cute, she looks just like one of mine. I think they probably have the same kind of personality too lol. Looks exactly like something Mickey would do!

Think of how much fun it would be to be able to climb like that! I think you should follow your heart with the mittens. Color is such a personal thing, and if you don't like it, you should change it. That said, I like the way the colors look! If you decide to finish and give them as a gift to someone, I'm sure they would be loved by the recipient. Those kitty pictures are priceless!

I'd stick with them. Your second pair would be better anyway if you want to switch, and the yarn is certainly cheap enough!
