😍:What is your muse like when in love?

Not sure. About the same she has always been I guess just not as uptight. Perhaps that is something someone else can answer being someone looking in rather than out to make that assessment.

😘:How does your muse show affection?

♡ - See me for who I am, a scholar.

Yay! Then you could sell your older spinning wheel an the cycle starts for someone else

I can’t quite part with my old one just yet, so it goes into storage for now. But if I ever decide to part with it, then yeah, it will go to a loving home!!

YESSSSS!!

I'm still learning on my single drive wheel but it was easily $100 more than the one you're looking at. I hope it's in good shape!

Yeah! An ashford goes for around 600$ for their cheapest model and this lady is selling the spinning wheel plus 3 extra bobbins and a lazy kate so it’s a really excellent deal!

Could your wheel be sold as-is to offset the cost of the new one? Or is it precious to you?

I thought about selling it, but I have enough to pay for a new one if I wanted to. I’m thinking I’ll put it in storage for now and decide later (if I get the new one or not...).

High five! I would be tempted to keep your double drive one and use it as decoration or something. It sounds awesome.

Yeah! I’m gonna stick it in storage if I get the new one. I dont want to part with it just yet. :)

Omg. Such a good deal. But I would have to chill because I lack funds. I would do my darnedest to make mine work again, or try to figure out drop spindling again.

Tbh any time my hair gets past my shoulders I get super sick of it and go back to hella pixie lol. It is just hair! It grows back :)

I was like that when I was younger lol! I could never keep my hair past my shoulders.

I knit when I get anxious or stressed. It's repetitive, meditative, and there's visual progress that I can see. Idk the tangible aspect of it all really helps, it's very grounding.

Knitting sounds amazing tbh, I used to crochet when I was little but haven’t tried since (I made mini pillows and blankets for my beanie babies lmao).  

ACTUALLY now that I think about it, the last time I was feeling overwhelmingly anxious was when I was sitting on a plane at Halifax waiting to take off in icy conditions.  I could feel my chest get tight, shit was starting, but I happened to be wearing a scarf with yarn tassels on the end of it.  I started quickly braiding each one, then undoing it to braid it again.  It really did help take my mind off the situation, or at least keep me from feeling worse.  

Illapa is quite skilled with a staff, and it is his preferred weapon. He has learned that using a staff plays to his strengths and compensates for his weaknesses; he can use leverage and precision to make up for the brute strength he lacks, and it takes advantage of his dexterity and grace. The staff’s reach combined with his long arms provides him with a large area of control, and landing a hit on him becomes a frustrating endeavor as both ends of that staff parry, and parry, and parry. His natural grace lends to the footwork needed for staff fighting, and he is quick, ruthlessly punishing openings in an opponent’s defense with a swift stab to a vital area or a well-placed sweep. And if brute force is needed, the long weapon acts as a fulcrum to amplify his strikes.

As for violence, it isn’t often Illapa’s first resort; he would much prefer to reason, magic, or outwit a situation. If pressed to violence, however, he is as ruthless and calculating as he is socially – for the best kind of violence is the kind one needn’t repeat.
