Interpretations Vol. 8 is here! This year brings you the charming 8th collaboration between Joji Locatelli and Veera Välimäki. This collection includes six themes, six words with two designs inspired by each word, showing a personal take on each of these themes.

In 2021 we continued to work together virtually. We found this to be a great opportunity to show you a bit of our home countries. We did the photoshoots separately in our respective major cities: Helsinki and Buenos Aires. Joji’s pictures are taken by Claudia Salazar, Veera’s by Jonna Jolkin.

What have I been waiting for? Maybe it’s the moment when I find the perfect pattern. Maybe it’s the thrill of a new cast-on, almost like the turning of a new leaf. I can picture all the hopes and dreams so vividly, and with these thoughts I’m setting a cheerful intention for the future. Not all dreams come true but even picturing them makes me smile.

The Poppy colorwork sweater is worked from the top down in one piece. It has a gentle, easy fit and cropped body with ¾ length sleeves. Poppy is perfect to wear over jeans and dresses alike. Choose your happy colors and make those future dreams come true.
