Let the yarn tell you what it wants to be. And all that other zen crap. Quoting Opus the Penguin from an early ’80s Bloom County strip:

I thought your socks were beautiful. Then I clicked the link and saw what you were expecting. Wow, the yarn really does kill the pattern. I'm sorry! They do still look really cool, though ... as long as you lie about the pattern. They kind of look like Monkey socks to me. The yarn is BEAUTIFUL! We should have a frogging party one night to experiment with frog-themed drinks while we all frog our fails. Oh, wow. I thought your socks were beautiful.

You are not alone. That happened to me with some Claudia's Handpainted yarns when I tried to make some Monkeys with it. Kai-Mei seems to be a popular pattern from Cookie A's book. Personally, I'm drawn to the 'Sam' pattern. :) Happy Knitting!! Denial is a common trait among knitters. You are not alone.
