No; I have enough trouble holding my piece in one hand and one needle in the other.
Part of that is my workspace issue. I'm doing all of this in the air because I can't sit at a table to work (back injury), so I sit on the couch with the bead board in my lap (yes, it's just as precarious and prone to disaster as you'd imagine) and hold my project mid-air.
Anyway, I was trying to learn ladder stitch just so I could go on and learn brick stitch. Peyote was so easy to learn! But with ladder, I get mixed up whether I'm supposed to go over or under with the new bead and inevitably make a tangled mess. It's hard to make them lie flat, too.

Had to go look up what ladder stitch is immediately, of course. Found a couple of variants... are you using the 2-needle version?

Ah, the confusion of beginners.
