Well done, ladies all!
Thistlelass, the 2 socks on 2 circulars method is pretty intuitive (to me). I believe that's what String is showing us in a toe-up fashion. Starting a toe-up sock is on my list of things to learn.
Here are 2 cuff-down projects at an early stage. One simply knits across a "row" --- taking great care to switch working yarn when you hit the second sock
--- and you've done half a round on each sock. Turn over, knit across, and you've got a round.

I did 2 practice pieces and my first pair on DPNs. That went fine, but for a novice doing the second sock as an exact duplicate was rather daunting. I started my second pair separately (but simultaneously) on 2 circulars, then experimented on 2 together as I worked down the leg. Now I have Antje Gillingham's book, but I began by just doing it.
