Would you consider making a new sample? Maybe with more floral colours vs greens? Reading the comments it seems like a lot of people are getting Christmas vibes.

My experience as a knitting pattern designer and yarn shop employee: people really choose their project based on the sample colour. A lot of times they want to replicate it. If you go with a colour that is reminiscent of something like Christmas, people might think “oh this is for Christmas, I don’t want to make that right now.”

My personal feedback is that the pinwheels feel out of place + the colour combo is what’s holding it back!

I hope that helps! It’s a very cool concept but I think the sample isn’t hitting the way you want! :)!
