I'm pleased to hear it. Another advantage of double frets is that,
being twice the length, the their elastic deformation and recovery is
physically superior to a single: in short, you can move them around
more (if you're that way inclined) without them becoming as loose as a
single loop would.
A yet further advantage is that the loop closer to the nut takes most
of the wear leaving the fret loop closer to the bridge with a cleaner
take-off for a longer period than a wholly single loop.

I've never had issues with single knots.
