Emery Q. Asterism Doin' mountainy things. I see fnords. She/they | ✨💛🤍💜🖤✨ I tag my art with #inkthusiasm and my fibre work with #KnittingPirate. You might also know me as cougrr/qgr or Belaset. My primary hobby is collecting more hobbies - I draw/paint, play guitar and drums, knit/spin/crochet, snowboard in the winter and bike the rest of the year, and I sure play a mean pinball.

I didn't coin this one though; it's a hashtag that I've carried over from Instagram. A couple of podcasters started it, and there was a book with the same title.

The second day of #FiberArtCamp is #ToolTuesday :)

I genuinely don't know if I could pick my favourite, so instead I'll talk about the newest facet of my fibre art hobby: machine knitting.

What a rabbit hole, man. My friend gave me a simple Brother bulky machine, and the next thing you know I've got a standard gauge electronic machine and a ribber, and someone nearby was selling a punchcard machine and a garter carriage for a stupidly low price, and and and.

There's a huge learning curve, of course, but the speed is enthralling. I made a blanket/wrap in a couple of days, rather than several months. (Still working on perfecting a sweater pattern that fits me the way I want, though.)
