Well, that era is coming to an end now. I am working on my first toe up sock! And yes, I am pleased how actually non frightening it turned out to be. The toe anyhow... with this tutorial. I still got to figure out how to work a short row heel, and that's going to be some adventure. Oh yea...
So what is YOUR favorite method: do you swear by top down, toe up or something completely different? Do you have ulterier motives altogether or do you use a method as it fits your project at the time? Just curious, really...

I have never done toe up and worry about doing so-where to put the heel, and also one would have to cast off at the top which is never as elastic as casting on.
Now how do you do a star toe?
Your dutch heel looks different to mine tho it is hard to tell since yours is in garter stitch!
Good luck with that and definately let us know how it goes! I'm totally a cuff-down girl, but have been contimplating experimenting with the toe-up method. We'll see...
I was a top-down knitter until I tried the toe-up with my last pair. I love not having that bumpy row inside from picking up the heel stitches.
I use the Turkish cast on for toe-up socks:

I usually knit short-row heels (or afterthought peasant heels) which fit me better than the flap and gusset type.
