I quite like doing toe up socks as it minimises waste yarn. With my Lana Grossa sock I wanted to use up as much of hte yarn as possible but find it difficult to estimte how much I need for the foot. So I decided to knit them toe up. Ive done toe up before but only with short row heels which aren't great for my feet as my instep is quite deep. I saw that the 'Baudelaire' socks (from Knitty) were done toe up with a gusset so I used this as a model for my socks. And the result is great. I've got a lovely toe upsock with a proper gusset and the fit is so much better. And it's fairly easy and straightforward to do. Just got to finish the cuff now andthen the dreaded 2ndsock.

Anni, that is a great sock! I like toe up too. You're so right, you can always see how much yarn you have left before you run out on the cuff.
