Here's my Pacific Waves shawl swatch in Elann Sonata Print Incan Clay; this stuff knits up beautifully! The deep rust color has more deep red/deep rust in it; the lighter colors on the side aren't that over-bright, either. In fact, they're really only about that color deep into the grey, and a bit less saturated; they then lighten up nicely from there! I wanted to show the richness and depth of the deep colors, though, so in order to do that everything else ended up a bit too intense. (Sorry, I just LOVE how this really looks! This gives a good approximation of it, though!)
Also, I don't think the color will pool like this, in these stripes basically, as the shawl is alot wider than this; it'll look more like the bottom couple of rows you see here.
I'm now calling the project, Incan Waves. The actual shawl won't look like much for awhile, but I thought I'd post this. I have a post in the works about the ECOOD. You may or may not be able to figure out what that stands for.

Very nice, Sarah! As for the pooling, you just never know what it's going to do until you knit it. I look forward to seeing the whole piece.
I hope you haven't been swamped by those waves? you still there? hello? look out for a small package in the mail any day now from Australia, not all the work yet but I had to send you something to let you know you were not forgotten!
