Magic loops versus DPNs

I am now attempting to knit my other sock on a circular needle using the magic loop method. My first sock was done with 4 double pointed needles. I wanted to experiment with another method to see which one is easier. It's my first time using this magic loop method and I am finding it a little getting used to. I am relying on YouTube to help me get throughout this. I just learnt that I don't have to put half my stitches on a stitch holder when I work on the heel flap because I can just leave it on the circular needle. The different orientation is making me a little confused. I hope I don't mess it up when I start on turning the heel or the gusset. Oh dear....here's a picture of the sock done up to the point before the heel flap. I am nervous about moving on to the next part. Wish me luck! The other completed sock in the background was the one done with DPNs.
