Narrative:
We were descending on the williamsport 1 arrival and were cleared to hold at penns intersection. I misread the DME for penns on the arrival and started the turn to enter the hold at hayed intersection. When we called to enter the hold, ATC advised we entered too early and gave a heading back to course. It was at that time I discovered my error. Conditions were clear. Hold was because of delays into ewr due to LLWS and high winds.
