I did manage to finish one Pyroclastic sock but I don’t even remember when. Such is the crazy whirlwind that my life has morphed into.

I suppose it depends on what country you live in. I do indeed like gray but even more so when punctuated by a brightly colored (coloured?) accessory. And yellow [...]
