The next big project

Now that I've gotten caught up with all of my UFOs (that's UnFinished Objects in knit-speak) I needed a new project to work on.  Other than the occasional scarf, hat, or fingerless mitts, I've never knitted anything significant for myself.  I've had my eye on this circle shrug for a little while now and decided it was time to cast on.  I chose a celery colored yarn that will go nicely with my complexion.
