sock elephant progress, part III

Just about done, only the right hand (really foot eh?) stitch details to go. The only extra bit I added is the pink stitching over the trunk's end. I'm ready to start the kitty and already have the orange socks ready to snip. I purchased a similar pair to the brown ones used above. I got a bit of shock from my mentions on how much I paid for the thorlo hiking -only to be cut into a toy- socks. I really wanted them to be soft, thick, and hold up to a lifetime of machine washing and toddler wear and tear. My next sock shopping adventure may well be more frugal and defiantly more funky. Having gone looking for mens tube socks (a dozen for $18 - ok, I paid too much!), more tube socks, vintage rainbow striped, another good wigwam selection, and finally the biggest sized socks on earth I see there's a decent amount of raw material to work with.
