[ If you want high end Peruvian alpaca to make a garment that will last a lifetime you have to get to specialty stores. I bought enough yarn to make 2 sweaters - 1 for winter and a lighter one with linen for summer.
That's awesome! I've dabbled in a lot of stuff, these days I mostly sculpt fired ceramics but I've painted, built cars and motorcycles, built models and dioramas, designed, built and flown R/C planes, and yes I've even sewed and knitted. Those last two I did just enough to know I DO NOT have the patience for it, LOL! But I did it enough to have undying respect for those that can stick it out enough to make an entire blanket or garment

Spent some time actually knitting - currently doing a heavily cabled thigh high socks for someone and its been a challenge but they are gorgeous!
Wish we could post pics here, would love to see your work!

As I sat with my feelings I realized that I would not be very forgiving if H blew off S18's party.
Why let that get to you. He's already a deadbeat husband, does it really shock you that he's probably a deadbeat step-dad too?

H doesn't want to go because he feels it would be awkward, but seeing how his own mother and nephews will be there and possibly his son and gf I think there would be lots of opportunity to avoid my family and still stay for at least 30-40mn.
Here's the thing- he is 100% completely selfish. He probably wasn't before, but he is now. Everything is all about him and filling HIS needs and HIS desires. The wants and needs of others do not factor into his thinking right now. And it will be this way for a while. So when we say have no expectations, it means just that. Don't expect him to do husbandly things. Don't expect him to do fatherly things. Don't expect ANYTHING of him. You continue to expect him to do the honorable thing, and you are continually disappointed, right? His behavior has unfortunately been consistent since BD. You've got to accept that this uncaring a-hole is who he is now and drop those expectations!
