Tangled Grrl

I was starting to think I'd never actually complete a pair of socks. But I did it! The boyfriend socks are still not done (mostly because I don't like working with the yarn) but I completed a pair of socks for myself! See!

And on another note, knitting charts on my iPad are amazing since I can rotate and resize them with one hand!
