Okay, here is my possibly obvious and stupid suggestion...I just did a scarf with the same issues (no patterns show up with it, etc.) and I just used huge-ass needles and did a simple pattern of knit a row, then do a row of k1 y0 k1, all the way across, then knit the next row, dropping the yarnovers to create a lace-y type dealio and then starting the pattern all over again. I know, it sounds super-lame but it looked pretty good and I finally had to figure out that the main attraction of the scarf was going to be the yarn and not the pattern....
I hope this helps, even if only to give you a laugh...!
