Yes, you can have a loop for both feet. You should be able to make one yourself with about 10-15' of cordage ranging in size from 5-9mm

Tree boy,
where are located?
Since you are starting out, do you have someone that has been TTC for awhile that you could climb with?

TreeBoy,
If you use a handheld ascender, you can attach your footloops to the ascender and not the downrope (below the blake).
That way you do not have to stop to pull it up.
I started with the foot loop myself, then made a bunch of the double foot loops for my clients. I no longer use the foot loop now - body thrust it up is much faster for me.
Keep climbing!

TreeBoy,
A Spanish Bowline also works well for double loops, and is easier to tie, untie, and fine-tune. There's also something called the Double Alpine Butterfly, which can be tied very quickly, but the loops lay a little too close to one another for my tastes. Here's a neat page on various double loops, how to tie them, and their comparative advantages/disadvantages.
Hang on up there!

Because it's better up there!

Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
Who stands in his pride alone!
And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
When a hundred years are gone!
