Taking photos for a tutorial & this image is absolutely perfect. Except, of course, for the dog hair right in the middle. Do you think people will be able to spot it? 🧶

A close-up on a piece of handknit fabric. One of the stitches has been outlined with a contrasting colour of yarn so you can see the shape of the stitch. It's pretty hard to see, but there's a perfectly placed dog hair right under the highlighted stitch.

Naaaw, it's not dog hair. It's glitter.

I used to know a fellow crafter who would often say "It's not homemade if it doesn't have pet hair in it... " Which was all well and good, until she brought a place of freshly-baked cookies to a party. 😂

I'm not sure I would have spotted it if you didn't call it out, and even then I had to really look for it since the white blended well with the yellow. I think it's probably fine!

If it helps, I had to zoom in to see it. But I live with a super shredder so I need a much heavier coating of dog hair before I notice these things. 😁

Ah, the quotidian challenge of taking photographs in a home with pets. Just yesterday, while vacuuming the living room, my husband said, "There's no way we have only three dogs!"

Couldn’t see it without a whole lot of zooming. I’d leave it. I’ve seen worse in a tutorial. It may have a tiny hair but it is also an excellent illustration of the thing you need. The latter outweighs the former.

I could see it, but I was prepped to look for it. I hope you don't get any obnoxious comments.

I only noticed with extreme close up and glasses ON and I hope any time I post photos no one zooms in like that! I also think you are fine.

It'll just look like everybody else's knitting (who has a dog/cat/ human who sheds)
