double knitting

I am learning this new way of knitting - and so I am practicing it by making potholders to take to my parents' "new" home when I visit them next month.

Here is the first one:
Front....
and back...


I kinda messed up a bit at the beginning, but i don't think mom will mind much! It makes a nice thick potholder. The other one will be a little more colorful and have a different pattern, but still this same reversible double-knitting thing, because I need more practice!
