We should all be glad that I didn't decide to jump straight into cabling.
*snicker* Cabling isn't as bad as all that. Then again, I'm the sort of person where my second ever knitting project was a cobbled-together-pattern for a scarf with ribbing and cabling and other stuff and I got about four inches into it and gave up. Also, the first pair of socks I ever did were lace and cables.
But yay for knitting in the round! It is awesome.
(You can do, say, basic wristwarmers by knitting flat and then sewing it up in a tube, but knitting seamless is so much easier IMO.)
Are you using double pointed needles (where you have like four or five of them), or circular needles (two needle points connected by a flexible cable)? If you are doing dpns and find yourself getting all tangled up, or dropping needles or whatever, it's possible to knit in the round with circs.
