It's things like this that make me question my artistic vision...

So I wore my AMAZING Noro funnel-neck sweater to work today. Because it's Friday, J and I headed down to Starbucks for our traditional, celebratory Friday morning beverages. When I stepped up to the counter, the woman behind the cash register got this concerned look in her eye, and, gesturing to the huge stand-up collar on my sweater, asked, "What is this for?!" It took me a minute to realize that she thought the collar was some kind of medical apparatus, possibly a neck brace. Where this woman thought I obtained a wool/silk neckbrace embellished with cables is beyond me, but when I explained it was part of my sweater, she did say it was very nice.
