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.
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.
I taught myself using videos and became - over years - an advanced knitter. My goal was; i want to be able to design and knit anything i want to, and i achieved that goal (not always flawlessly, but still).
It’s fun, colorful, the knitting communities are great, and you will boost your self esteem, because even though you will make tons of mistakes (even at an advanced level), you will also learn how to fix them, or hide them.
Edit to change teached into taught…

I think every enthusiastic knitter has experienced this too, lol

Maybe she gets fiber from the dog.

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.
