Thick and Thin Pullover

I hope everyone is staying healthy and maintaining their sanity in these trying times. You knitters out there probably know that knitting is a great way to past the time if you're stuck at home. I took time to finish off this thick and thin pullover that is inspired by a sweater I saw on a mannequin at Bloomingdales. My inspo sweater was all white and I think the thicker yarn was more cotton-y than mine. I used Berroco Brielle, which is an alpaca blend, for the thick yarn and a fingering weight alpaca yarn whose name I forgot for the thin yarn. The neck and armhole trim was done with the thinner yarn held double. I'm happy that holding it double also makes it look whiter because I wanted a whiter and brighter look around the neckline. This sweater has a tiny bit of positive ease and I love the fit and drape. However, it does feel a bit on the scratchy side. I'm not sure whether it's one or both of the yarns that's causing the scratchiness. I'm hoping it's not due to alpaca, since I just started a sweater in an alpaca and linen blend!

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because lifebecame meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, thesymptoms became very severe and bold and made my familyrun from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gaveup everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because thedoctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs butthey never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me makingit worse. I was doing some research online someday when Icame across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhotacured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thoughtit was a joke but later decided to contact him on the detailsprovided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent mehis herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after twoweeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I wasNEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DREbhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep ontelling the world about you.
