After working those final 17 rows, that felt like they would never end, which wasn't helped by my having a massive case of Knitters ADHD, I cast off the second version of my ColourMart Lover's Group Spring Contest Shawl.
Once she was done and blocked there was the usual juggle to try and get the shawl, the model and the weather all playing nicely together at the same time!
