N word, Callistemon?

A jumper I was knitting for myself, I think I started it about 30 years ago but for some reason left it with just one side of the front to finish knitting then sew up and do the neck.
It's a cabled jumper and I can't work out where I am with the cabling; it won't fit and I wouldn't wear a cabled jumper now as they seem to add an extra half a stone.

I won't mention the N word as that's early days yet.

I did finish a jumper I started knitting for DD when she was 8, she's in her late 30s now. One of the DGD wore it a couple of times.

A felt penguin I was forced to make, ( try to make) when I was 12. I can still see it in my nightmares.

I ended up making myself so ill that my mother asked the school if I could sit in on a Maths or French class. Anything that didn't involve needles, threads and kapok.

So I'm afraid that was my one and only foray into the world of sewing/knitting/crochet etc etc. I've never held a needle since.

My wonderful husband even sewed the children's Brownie and Cub's badges on.

Mine was the long black jacket I was knitting for a sister in the US, after she’d looked for similar while here, and had failed to find what she wanted.

I knitted the whole wretched thing - except for the ‘pick up and knit’ band all up one side, round the neck, and down the other.

Tried and tried, just could not manage it - even worse with black yarn, so hard to see the stitches.
Eventually gave up.
Luckily it was relatively cheap acrylic yarn - had to be easily washable since DSis puts just about everything in the tumble drier.
