by Becky Wolf "Jasseron" is the title of a duet between Emily Loizeau and Franck Monnet from Emily's debut album L'autre bout du monde. The contrast in this pullover between dark and light colors and between feminine details and casual styling nicely mirrors the contrast between a man whose thoughts are of love after death and a woman who would prefer perhaps a slightly less morbid view of their love. The sweater is worked in pieces from the bottom up, then seamed before adding the twisted rib ballet neckline. Short row shaping gives the front and back hems their curves and the neckline its gentle slope to the shoulders. The rippling ribbons of lace on the sleeves can easily be substituted with your favorite lace pattern as long as the gauge is the same. This design lends itself readily to either handpainted or solid colorways, contrasting or complementary colors, luxury or tossinthewash yarns. The possibilities are endless!
