I love to knit socks all different ways.  I've just started doing the toe up version with the magic loop ... have done many top downs with that method and I also like the process of using double points top down.  They're all good

Sharon,

 I have been knitting socks on two circular needles, from the cuff down, for several months. I would love to learn from the toe up (on two curcular needles). I saw a You Tube video on how to cast on, but I cannot find any other videos on what to do next. Can you give me some advice on where to go for info???

Thanks,

Hi Elaine,

I am going to point you to some toe up sock how tos.  If the edit key on this works, then they will be all in this post.  If it doesn't work, then they will be in the posts following this one.

Also there is a SOCKS forum/thread running here on Knitting Daily.  Please come back over there and another sock knitter who does toe up knitting, would be able to assist you.

Happy socking!  Zoe
