Bind off for toe up socks
I am getting ready to finish another pair of socks which I knit from the toe up. However, I am struggling with the bind off. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to make it more elastic? The cuff is merely a K2P2 ribbing... Thanks so much ..

There are a bunch of stretchy bind-offs you can try. A good one is Denise's variation on EZ's sewn bind off. This site has a list of other links you might also want to check out. (It has lots of other useful sock-knitting links too.)

I just bind off in pattern, on a needle one or two sizes bigger than I knit the sock on. :D
