Knot the Point? Then What Is?

I’ve tried imagining this in different color combinations, but I cannot for the life of me ever imagine myself, or anyone I know, wearing this.   Can you?

Seriously, how many people have invested valuable time and good yarn to knit this crazy contraption?  And if you did, what would you do if the phone rang?  Fashion faux pas or safety hazard?  You decide.
