Jack is a 1.5 year old shetland wether. I recently said his color was emsket, but I believe he's actually a musket. (Shetlands come in many colors and patterns - each has a gaelic name just to make it even more confusing, uh, I mean interesting.) While his head and legs are a dark brown, his fleece tips bleach to a light golden brown but underneath it is a very pale gray. When spun it produced a very pretty warm gray-brown. This little guy has quite an endearing personality. Very bold and outgoing with an affectionate streak, he also has a strong sense of self. He can get quite playful, "sproinking" around the pasture when he's feeling wild and crazy.

Thanks for introducing us to Jack (now we want to see the yarn - hee!).
Over on my Sugar Mountain Farm blog on the Greenhouse Wall Forms Wired post you asked if the greenhouse we're building was the "Big Project".
Actually, the greenhouse was the project that got put on hold because of the "Big Project" that I alluded to earlier this year. The big project is still progressing but it is a very big project and we missed the schedule for where I wanted to be by September 1st in order to continue with construction on that for the fall. With that in mind I shifted gears and brought the greenhouse farrowing shed back to the front burner while paper work and research continues on the "Big Project".
Cheers,
