Shrug done!
Here she is:
I'm very pleased with it so far. Next step: recalc how many stitches to pick up, based on my gauge and how far around I want it to be attached.
p.s. pardon the crappy tank top. It was a failed attempt at a printable iron-on transfer.

Thanks! As for the calculation, here's what I was thinking:
Diam = measurement (around upper ribcage) from one bra stap, around the back, and to the other bra strap [in] (probably measuring this with the shrug on, since the upper edge of the tube top won't be perfectly horizontal; it will probably lift a little in the front where it attaches to the shrug openings.)
(and hooray for bras with wide-set straps!)
gauge = my stitch gauge [st/in]
so the number of stitches I want to pick up is Diam * gauge, centered around the midpoint of the shrug, and picking up along the bottom edge of the shrug, and also the top edge if necessary.
