Someone on the wool soaker yahoo group was asking about elastic thread so I thought I would post these pics to show how I threaded the elastic thread into the waistband and leg cuffs since I couldn't find the website that described how to do it. If you look very closely (or you can click and make the picture very large) you can see that it is threaded through one side of the v on the 1x1 rib stitch on the inside. This way it doesn't show through to the front and it is easily replaceable if it wears out. I just threaded it through with a yarn needle and tied it in a few knots. This is a soaker I knit last fall for a friend's son. I used Paton's Classic Merino and didn't really use one specific pattern, and it was based on his measurements.
