I have a pair of shorts that go on super loose and then are tied to fasten them. It works fine most of the time but is total bullshit if the cloth tie breaks (which mine did). Without the tie you are left with a pair of shorts that are about ten sizes too big, which are only good for keeping your ankles warm.
I was thinking of what I could use as a replacement tie, and my knitters brain asked: "Would an I cord work?"
I refreshed my memory of I cords with a youtube tutorial and then proceeded to make one for my shorts.
It took two episodes of The Wire to get it to the right length, then I strung it through my shorts and now have a working garment again. Thanks knitting skills!
