This sweater has been with me for more than ten years, and I got it second hand from an old lady. Then it was plain white art, because it is hand knit.
Over the years, I patched wear and tear, but last year the fixes got a bit obvious, and I have enough other white stuff. Also, the stitches got pulled wider than is useful in aweater, making steeks obvious. So I fixed all this with embroidery wool.
Now in its 20th year, it is a favorite again.
