DPN help
this may seem like a really stupid question .But here goes . When you start knitting on DPN how do you keep track of which needle you just knitted . I have been watching all kinds of videos and get really confused .they have yarn on 3 needles but i can never figure which needle to knit next . I thought of numbering the needles 1,2,3, and 4 but i don't know if it would work . Going to need to practice myself. Thanks for any suggestions

When knitting on dpns the stitches are connected in a line, just as if they were all on one needle. When you knit the last st on one needle, move on to the next st in line and the needle it is on is the one you knit next.
