| Introduction | I'm Síle, pronounced she-luh. I'm an experienced knitter and Irish dancer, currently sidelined from performing by an injury. I'm happiest combining my two worlds to form (hopefully) interesting patterns for knitters. I'm Auntie to three wonderful furballs, Jakey, Silver and Jade; I'm sure you'll meet them along the way. Saskatchewan born and raised, I've called Newfoundland home since 2012. |

Your bow is not broken but you've run out of arrows. How can you fake being a bard?
Use the bow as a one stringed instrument, pluck at the string and warble badly rhyming couplets about famous kings and heroes of the area. If captured/asked, keep plucking the bow and humming to the tone it gives off, as if tuning it. If possible speak in a sing-song manner and ask and answer in riddles; If you never give a straight answer, you never tell a lie
