Well, I read through most of it, but it isn't easy to visualise without some wool and needles in your hands. I am still mystified as to what advantage there is to using this method? Can someone please enlighten me.

Here's the cast on that we did for the socks . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhBIS0AhhQY
This works great.
Here are some different bind offs:
Elastic bind off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mGIt...eature=related
or: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJjm3...eature=related (I like this method)
The bind off method we used on the socks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfnav...eature=related (I didn't like this method)
I just found this one and I'm going to try it next. I think I'm going to love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abBhe-JYmgI
And here are my toe-up magic loop socks...
