I think every enthusiastic knitter has experienced this too, lol

She's definitely enthusiastic. She spins when we watch movies, she knits when we go out to see friends or wait at the doctor, she weaves on her schacht inkle loom sometimes, she dyes fiber, the whole gamut. The only reason we don't have a sheep is because the dog would endlessly harass it.

Maybe she gets fiber from the dog.

She doesn't, because when we had a really sheddy dog I suggested she spin yarn from the dog's hair and then knit a sweater for the dog. She wouldn't do it.

Dogs can be trained and sheep are great animals, haha!

Mine can't be trained. We've tried. She's the most stubborn dog ever. And she likes to murder. If she wasn't so sweet, we wouldn't keep her around.
