First time knitting in the round and using DPNs

Hi! Yesterday i learnt to knit in the round. It's funny because I've been knitting for about three and a half years now and I've never knitted in the round or use double pointed kneedles. So I decided to learn and I have started making some mohair lace arm warmers from the DK big book of knitting. At first i found it quite hard holding all the kneedles and I kept dropping stitches but I've got used to it now. I also got quite confused because I didn't realise you were supposed to knit with an extra empty kneed so i just kep knitting round and ended up with all the stitches on one kneedle! But I figured it all out in about half and hour and I'm doing fine now. For anyone else who wants to learn learn how to knit with DPNs, I found the for dummies tutorial really helpful!
Bye for now!
