Double Knitting (reversible knitting)

This is a work in progress and very basic...my practice piece is a potholder.
With 2 strands of yarn in contrasting colors, held together, cast on 24 stitches. There should be 48 loops on your needle.  Make sure to alternate colors. In this case mine is red/white/red/white and so on.
This is a warning to the Mosier Children: You will probably be getting some 'not so pretty' potholders for Christmas.
I used this You Tube tutorial to help me get started: Knitting Help - Double Knitting by verypinkknits

    Now that is a technique I have always wanted to try - especially for making scarves with designs on them or sofa pillows. Looks like you've really got the hang of it - well done!
