When I was a beginner, DPNs scared me. What the heck were those weird pointy things? Looked more like weapons than craft tools!
But because I loathe seaming, I gathered up the courage to learn how to use them so I could make baby hats. I couldn't find good tutorials online at the time (there were some out there but I found them intimidating and confusing), so I worked through it as best as I could until I figured it out.
Now I love them so much that I posted my own tutorial on how it works for me (http://kimberlychapman.com/crafts/knit-dpn.html). Once I found that I could knit tubes, my toy designing took off big time.
Hang in there, practise a bit, and you'll get used to them.
