Boo!

I hate it when great patterns and great yarn just.don't.mix.
I've been working on the first sock in the Sock Knitting Pentathlon Competition 2008, the Jacobean. Beautiful pattern, and really straightforward. A great TV knit, yet not simple enough to be boring. It's my first toe-up, first Magic Cast On, and first wrapped stitch short-row heel.
Anyways, this lovely Dicentra yarn that had been waiting in my stash for something gorgeous turns out to knit up much more stripy than I'd envisioned and, though still gorgeous, is completely obscuring the pretty diamond pattern:

Now what? Ok, in the greater scheme of things, this is not a global tragedy, but it's making me sad. I don't (think I) want to start all over in a new -solid- yarn, just because this has taken hours already and now we go way back. Plus I love the yarn regardless, even though it has bumps and things going on that can hardly be made out to be a pattern.

So. Rip it, or double-dip it? (That makes no sense whatsoever, but it was the only thing I could find that rhymes with 'dip'.)
What do you think?
