Knit, Transfer, Rotate, Knit, Transfer, Oh Shit

I don't really understand why some knitters have an aversion to using DPNs. Once you get the hang of them, it's no more difficult than using circs. It's true that switching from one needle to the next slows things down a bit but it does have a certain rhythm to it. You knit to the end of the needle, transfer the empty needle from one hand to the other and rotate your work. Knit, transfer, rotate, knit, transfer, rotate. It becomes second nature after a while. Knit, transfer, rotate, knit, transfer, rotate. Oh sure, every once in a while you might grab a needle with live stitches on it instead of the empty needle if you're not paying attention and then you have to stop and pick up the stitches before you can continue, but that doesn't happen very often; mostly when you're still getting the hang of using DPNs. You'd have to be a real dunce to do it three times in one evening.
