Hey all, I live in the DC metro area and am wondering if any of you know of a good camera/photography store around here! I'm looking to get into developing black and white film at home and need some supplies; unfortunately, ordering things by mail is no longer an option for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Either of those methods would work! It's really a matter of what you're most comfortable with and what supplies you have on hand.

If you're already using a circular needle with a pretty long and flexible cable, the one-needle magic loop would be good. If not, you can either use the two circular needle method or DPNs; one benefit with DPNs is that you can distribute the stitches in a way that makes keeping track of decreases easier.
