garter stitch cloth strip rug as pillow case

[moropus]

I 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.
