The above link is the "bunny ear" method, which results in the exact same knot as the standard method. There is nothing wrong with it, except that you may be tying a slip knot if the loops are done the same way as the "starting knot." If you ARE, then your laces will get loose throughout the day. Take this guys advice and pull the loops out of your knot. If you end up with a square knot, then it is secure. If you don't, then it isn't.
