I really liked them when they came off the needles and I was wearing the one around all night last night. Then I looked at the rest of the projects on Ravelry and realized that blocking would do wonders! So I blocked the right mitt while I was knitting the left mitt. I have pretty even tension, so I wasn't sure it would even make a difference...
See for yourself!

Wow....so impressed with you right now! Gorgeous!
If you don't like them, you can mail them to me. :D
Its amazing how effective blocking colourwork can be. I just hope they still fit you afterwards! :)
If you're doing a wide section of colourwork, it can also help to move up a needle size - even 1/4mm or 1/2mm can be enough. This counteracts the pulling-in nature of the stranding... also, I find it helps to work the piece inside-out - then you're strands can't get too tight even if they wanted to! :)
PS: love the mitts! :)
