Enemy, your name is pooling

So I cast on for Imogen yesterday and knit 36 rows, alternating between the three differently dyed skeins of Fleece Artist Aran Alpcaca, to avoid pooling and different parts of the sweater completely different colors. And I still have pooling:


How bad is it? Is it worth ripping and starting over? At this rate I'm going to have a gazillion ends to weave in: I'm thinking of knitting from both ends of all three skeins at this point, but maybe I will still have pooling, not sure how to break it up.

    I don't think it's that bad -- you're breaking it up with the three different skeins, and I think when it's on it's side as it will be in this pattern, you won't notice it as much. I see it much more in the first two pictures than the last two.

    If it's really driving you nuts you could frog and use this yarn for a different sweater and continue the search for the perfect Imogen yarn... knitting three balls from both ends sounds crazy-making to me, but maybe you have more patience and less trouble with tangling than I?
