Subject: Creating 2-D array from 1-D array

Hello, I am relatively new to Ruby.  I have an existing array:
   a = [1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6]
and I want to create this 2-D array:
   b = [[1 , 2][2 , 4][5 , 6]]
I am using the following code, which works, but seems somewhat clumsy:
    b = Array.new
    i = 0
    k = 0
    for item in a
      if i == 0
        a1 = item
        i = 1
      elsif i == 1
        a2 = item
        i = 0
        b[k] = [a1, a2]
        puts "b..#{k},  #{b[k]}"
        k = k + 1
      end
    end
I would appreciate any advice to make this code look more elegant or
ruby-like.  In particular, I suspect there is a way to avoid the
indices.
Thanks for the help.
