Elastic in socks

I got this idea forever ago. It was from my dad, he used to use little elastic bands that he would hide in the fold of his socks to keep them up.

I was going to do this with the first socks I made but incorporate them in; Then I ran across this blog post and thought it might just be easier to put a link here, being that I am not the best of getting ideas across right.
