A Little Lace

I have an upcoming trip that will involve lots of sitting in a car so I decided to bite the bullet and try what so many people recommend for such instances : lace shawls. 

This will be my first attempt at a lace shawl (or is it a stole if it's square? I'm still not clear on the particulars of shawl names). I'm going to attempt the Anthemion Wrap (free on Knitty woo hoo!). I'm going to ignore the fact that this might be a little crazy for a first attempt at lace.

Let's also ignore the implications of the fact that I didn't even make it through a tiny swatch without making a mistake.
