Happy Un-doublepointed New Year

I hate dpns.
There, I said it.
I know I'm not alone, but I really despise them.
I wanted to love them.
I love the idea of them; there is something both traditional and zenlike about knitting on bamboo dpns, round and round and round.
But the idea of love does not a love make.

I just frogged the Bean's second mitten, which was on dpns. I'm starting over on magic loop.

Since I just signed up for the Knittyboard Sock Exchange, I need to master socks by February 28th (the date I need to send my socks to my partner). I don't have time to mess around with dpns. Immediate gratification is the key, and so magic loop (or maybe 2 circs) it shall be.
