My favorite bind-off for toe-up socks is Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off (JSSBO). It is easy to memorize, easy to do, stretchy, fast, and great for the tops of toe-up socks. Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off works with 1x1 rib, 2x2 rib, or any combination of knits and purls.
The blog link above includes the free video and a step-by-step photo tutorial.

A pattern that calls for short rows may intimidate you, but it just means knitting until ALMOST the end of the row. This short rows/wrap and turn video will help you approach any short-row pattern with confidence.
To correctly do short rows, you need to know how to do a wrap and turn, AS WELL AS how to pick up and knit the wraps once you are done with the short rows.")
