As a child, I wanted a sweater with Tintin and Milou. Decided that I would learn knitting with that project. Dream came true with the suggestions of La Dauphine for the colors and the fabric, and with lots of advices from Chantal Boissinot. Got me the nickname « Madame Tintin ».
Comfortable all year round. Worn it hundreds of times. Powerful red. I made other projects later but this is the one that makes people smile at me wherever I go. Image comes from « Les cigares du pharaon », by Hergé, and was already on a http://www.grillestricot.be.
Pullover pattern inspired by Phildar creations, Fall-Winter 1997, no 294-T7-480, largely modified.
Embroidery for Tintin’s fingers.
My XL sweater worn on the pictures by Marianne Thériault.
My favourite sweater.
