Is there an easy way to remove pet hair from knitting projects? I enjoy knitting, and most of my family and friends seem to enjoy receiving my good projects as gifts, but every project from me comes with intricately weaved dog hair. My dog's hair is long(ish) and white. I usually end up sitting there and picking it all out as I go. I'm wondering if there is an easier or more efficient way to do this. Maybe there is some sort of protection for my ball of yarn that I could use? 

Basically everything I find on the internet had to do with making yarn out of your dogs hair, so any suggestion is appreciated.
Jo-Ann's lists "Yarn Containers", essentially closed jars with a hole for the yarn to come out, that look like they might work to keep your yarn dog hair free while you work on a project. 

You could also make a similar container out of something like an oatmeal box.
