knittingI made a rug to put on my foot stool out of strips of torn cloth with huge needles.
Now a boy that visits me often says he will pay me silly amounts of money if I make him a pillow case just like it. Obviously, its hard and lumpy and you could not lay your head on it very long. I think it would put your eye out.
How do I find out what he really wants? I suspect he likes the look of garter stitch and I could just make him one for his birthday in a soft yarn that you could actually lay your face on.
Nobody could actually sleep on a rug knitted out of torn cloth strips, could they?
I'm very puzzled here.

(And also, if there are any yarns you just do. not. want. to knit, keep that out in the open.)
