So I've put off learning to use dpn's until winter break because during the semester it seemed so daunting to teach myself something new.
So tonight I pulled out some dpns (3 size 6s, and 1 size 5, whoops) and using Silver's Sock Tutorial taught myself to very basically use dpns.
I didn't get too far when I realized I hadn't been maintaining the k2p2 ribbing--I was just starting with k2 on each needle! Whoops!
Anyway, thus far it is frustrating but it *is* getting easier.

You'll get the hang of it eventually. It's not too hard, and socks are really fun to knit!
Congrats! It's always awesome to teach yourself something new...there's a special "something" about it, don't you think? I prefer to knit my socks with circular needles though, so it's been a while since I have picked up a dpn for anything but a stand in cable needle or stitch holder, lol.
I hope you kept this up because I absolutely LOVE my DPNs ;o)
