Couldn’t stand it anymore. I’ve been dying to make a pair of socks for myself. Got over the “guilts” of making something for myself and started my VERY FIRST sock last night! Did about 4 rows when the guilts came back so I did more on mom’s pillow…but, so far not half bad! Surprised myself on my ability to use DPNs!! I just love knitting!!! 
Congrats. See socks dpn’s aren’t bad. 
I love dpns and I love working circular.
