Victorian Mitts Progress

Finished one mitt and I'm halfway through the second. They seem to be a bit large around the palm and tight around the wrist. The ribbing came down over the hand further than I'd thought it would. I've only seen these things on drawn hands rather than in photographs so I have no idea how long they're supposed to be. The pattern only said to knit for so many pattern repeats rather than to knit to such & such part of the hand or to work for so many inches. The length isn't bad, I'm just not sure if that's how long they're supposed to be.

Easy project. Cheap and nasty thrift store yarn but they might get reknitted in some nice handspun yak with silk trim. Or alpaca maybe.
