Great demonstration! Of the many ones I tried for this technique, yours is by far the easiest to follow and apply to my own project. Thank you for breaking it down and explaining it so nicely!
Wow.... and in response to what you think you're sure that we already know... I have done everything all bassackwards about learning how to knit... I watched a bunch of videos of ladies doing real fancy stuff in videos that had no speech whatsoever or they spoke in a foreign tongue like Turkish or Russian or one of the Asian languages. See,I thought all knitting was one kind of knitting and that there were many details and things to learn about it. And, while that is true about any style of knitting, I thought all styles of knitting was one kind of knitting. I had no clue that there were different styles. After I threw many things away that I didn't like such as the throwing style, called English, I sought out an easier way to do that with lever knitting. I watched videos on speed knitting and different hacks on how to make things easier. I went on to watch videos that never explain what kind of knitting they were teaching me to do, yet again another reason I thought all knitting was the same knitting. They were all just "how to knit". It seems every Knitter thinks they know the only way to knit, I think! I began to watch more fancy stitching and then graduated to the videos that show how to fix or hack certain ways to do things in an easier manner than this or thuther ... thus enlightning and frustrating my way to learning knitting. After learning easier ways to Purl, I ended up seeing a video on something called combination knitting. The way the girl explained it put knots in my brain. So to get rid of that headache, I saw the one thing I liked - the Russian Purl - and went with it, figuring that if I did that on circular stix, I wouldn't have to learn anything else. Then I realized if I did the knit stitch on a circular, I wouldn't have to learn anything else. Then with a little thinking, I begin to toss out all the things that I didn't like about knitting and was left with a very simple straightforward easy to manage way of knitting. I really wanted to learn to knit with the sticks I already had, a pair of short ones and a pair of long ones. Because I'm smart enough to know that there is nothing new under the Sun, I asked Google, what is the basic oldest traditional way of knitting in Russia (after seeing so many Russian titled videos), because I knew I did not just invent a new easy way to knit! Lol. Sure enough,what I had done, after eliminating all the stuff that did not seem pragmatic or time efficient, work effort efficient, and the easiest way to get something done quicker than not ( I am thinking pointedly at the halting stop-start motion of English throwing style), I ended up with what appealed to me, and that is Russian, aka Eastern, aka Eastern European knitting. It was never once named in any of the videos that I saw, which I now have learned, have been switched off and on with combination knitting and a couple of different ways of getting that pesky purl to work out without crossing up the stitches along the courses. I am excited to learn so much more but I don't know if I will ever be able to do what I am impressed with on your sticks right this minute. Many things I learn in knitting in other styles I don't know how to translate into my Eastern style.

Fantastic! Just what I was looking for 😊
