I work the cuffs attached.

When the cuff's done I turn the work inside out again and change direction again then do a few more rounds of knit to curl the bottom edge of the cuff in underneath. Does that make sense? In the future I may try doing my cuffs separately to have the option of doing my leg toe up but the cuff top down and vice versa, which would give me the option to work lace patterns either side up on each. Does that make sense? It's getting late over here and I'm about to head to bed.
Makes perfect sense to me! I really like the coffee dyed wool-such a nice caramel color.
