Tangled in Charlotte's Web

I cast on for Charlotte's Web Shawl on New Year's Eve.
Here she is up to row 90 (183 sts on needle). I am using this handy chart from Uli's Needlework.
I struggled with the lace pattern at the beginning and counted stitches after each right side row. I started flying through it with ease and stitch counts kept coming out right...until I reached row 85, (I got cocky, see, and stopped counting my stitches on the previous RS row) and lo and behold, I had one extra stitch! (S)Tinking back two rows took TEN hours! Well, actually about 45 minutes, but lesson learned.

I hope to finish her by the end of the week. I hope my color choices work out; it's still hard to tell.

Also, I just purchased (Yes, I'm at work) yarn for this:
