Double knitting revelation

I've been reading up on double knitting, because it features in some of my currently-planned projects, and I've had a revelation: if you want your two pieces to be separate, you don't have to be constantly moving yarn back and forth if you knit stocking stitch right sides together - then you're purling the front piece English-style and knitting the back piece continental; one yarn per hand, and each on the correct side of the knitting at all times. And it works both in the round and flat. Hoorah!

You can even use double knitting to do the fingers of Gloves once you get good at it. Carol Duval has done shows on double knitting that at the time I didn't recognize because I hadn't learned the technique. Think she did a reversable baby blanket.

Ooh, gloves! That's a great idea that I hadn't thought of - thanks!
