Even with a helpful bunny knitting a few rounds, these mittens just aren’t working:

It’s not a case of the colours not going together; they look fine on the cuff. And I’ve made the green yarn dominant (holding it in my left hand and bringing it under which means more of the yarn shows on the right side), so it should be going zing! and woo! and leafy. But it’s getting completely lost in the purple background. I bet right now you’re all squinting at your monitors, trying to see the green pattern. And that’s the problem.
One option is to switch the colours around, but I would prefer to have purple as the main colour. I think a lighter green might work better. *ponders* In any case, these are going off to be frogged while I decide what to do. And my fingers are no nearer being warm and cosy…
