Pennib - I'm just about to start making my first ever sock monkey, where do you get the eyes? or do you just use buttons?

They are just buttons, you can get them from haberdashery shops or some people use the larger google type eyes.

Just made this polar bear yesterday - sort of made it up, which I'm very proud of as I usually have to follow a pattern. I've listed him on my Folksy page too (http://www.folksy.com/shops/sm1971)

Can't remember which socks they are but they feel a bit fluffy, if that's what you mean. There's better pics on my Folksy page http://www.folksy.com/shops/sm1971
