Lucky you, Jean, to have a bag handy when you need one! Yes, I sort of prefer the knots placed like you describe. It's not always bad otherwise, but my preference would be to have the knots fall in that configuration. I'm sure there must be some way to determine where the first and second knots should go to make it happen, but I haven't figured it out yet. I'm thinking the distance of the cord between the knots probably limits how large the circumference of the container it will hold. Drilling holes in clay and ceramic is tedious and the bits wear out fast. Making these simple slings is a lot quicker.
