I am…unsure of this. Either it will be lovely once I get a little further along (this is the most likely outcome, and I shall keep telling myself this, quite firmly, as often as needed). Or the yarn is just a hair too busy for the pattern (I always always always think this at this stage, it is rarely true).

And the only way to know is, alas, to keep knitting.

Please reassure me, either with tales of busy yarns that calmed down when you got a bit more knitting done, or with tales of projects that were much better when you ripped them out and started over with new yarn. Or possibly both.

I’ll be over here trying to figure out a way to see what this will look like with more fabric without actually putting in the time to knit more fabric. I don’t think this tactic will be notably successful, but I suspect I’m going to give it a try.
