I've told you how to do TAAT socks using ML from the toe up, but to work TAAT socks using ML from the cuff down is different.
The cast on itself is very tricky.
Cast on your stitches for your first sock. I use a cable cast on.
Find the halfway point and pull your cable through between the two stitches so that your needles are parallel.
Now cast on half the stitches for the second sock.
Slide your stitches purlwise from the left needle to the right needle.
Now, using the cable cast on method, pull a loop through from stitch 1 & 2 (that's the end nearest the other sock not the needle tip).
Make sure that the first half of your second sock cast on is on your right needle and the single stitch you just made is on the left needle. You may want to bring in another needle here to aid with the rest of the cast on. For this next stitch, perform a knitted cast on.
Now you can continue on with your cable cast on for the remainder of stitches needed.
You have now cast on two sock cuffs!
