Okay,  so today's update. I got the back finished in 101 minutes. I am very hopeful that I will be able to make the full shrug out of the one color. It's looking really great so far, although I think that the instructions could be a little clearer. Anyway, here is what is done thus far.

So  that is it. I have sleeves, edging, ends and flow left to do. It also calls for a snap which I don't have... I'll figure something out!9
