People need to start taking me seriously.

It is done. For the past three days I have endeavored to make it, and it is complete! Behold, the Clifford Cowl! (Pay close attention to the clasp--that tag says "Clifford the Big Red Dog.")

The peanut gallery has had much to say on the subject.

1) No Understandy: I just made a cowl out of a Clifford hoodie
Mike: is a cowl really a viable fashion accessory
No Understandy: Yes.
Mike: gonna look a bit gothy with a cowl though :P
No Understandy: It's bright red and has DOG EARS
Mike: ...why
No Understandy: "I just made a cowl out of a Clifford hoodie."
Mike: when you said clifford i wasn't thinking big red dog
Mike: oh god this is AWFUL now
No Understandy: :D
Mike: did the panda hat not get you enough looks? :P
No Understandy: -.-
Mike: weirdo

Pay careful attention to the tag. It's partially hidden by my collar.
Tim: oh my god it really is a cowl.
No Understandy: I wasn't lying...
Tim: I thought you were just being fancy with your choice of language.
Tim: but you weren't,
Tim: at all.
No Understandy: =/
No Understandy: I don't know what that means
Tim: IT IS AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT
