I have been struggling with trying to figure out toe up socks. It's mostly the different concept of casting on with that infamous MAGIC LOOP. I found a really good video teaching series by Knit Freedom. I didn't buy the videos...but the few samples were enough to get me through the pattern. However, I think if I were to do it again, I would buy the videos. 

What do you think? I can't decide if they are going to be full catholic school girl knee socks...or just nice ankle socks. We'll see. :)
