I do love double points, but occasionally I’d drop one on the bus and it would quickly roll away and I’d soon be chasing it while leaving a trail of yarn behind, not pretty.  I now use this technique on my socks all the time and love how easy it is to push the knitting onto the cords and throw the project into my bag without worrying if my stitches will fall off.
