In preparation for the up coming sock workshop this month I had a crazy idea to try. Sally and I are thinking about making a sweater that is meant to use up one's stash. It calls for about 16 different colors and is knit with a stitch that looks a bit woven. So I was thinking perhaps I might try a sock in the stitch to use as a swatch for my sweater. But we are knitting in cotton and cotton is less than perfect for socks. Then I remembered that when i used to knit socks and the Ewe and Eye was was the place to go for yarn, Mrs Newman introduced me to elastic to add to cuffs and whatever. So I googled ....and here is one thing that I found with my google search:

It is a video about a cast on to use for a top down sock that makes for a very stretchy top of the sock.
E-how says this about adding elastic:
