Interpretations Vol. 7 is here! This 7th volume of the truly heartfelt collaboration between Joji Locatelli and Veera Välimäki includes six themes, six words with two designs inspired by each word, showing a personal take on each of these themes.

The year 2020 added a layer of different circumstances to the book. The photographs were taken on the same day, but on opposite corners of the world; Joji’s in Argentina by Charly Barros and Veera’s in Finland by Jonna Jolkin.

Soft summer air moves in every stitch of this featherweight shawl. Little bits of delicate lace worked in mohair look exactly like fireweed late in the summer, reminding us of those lovely days and never-ending sunshine.

The silk mohair is paired with some stripes and an easy-to-remember variation of feather and fan lace. The slightly asymmetrical crescent shape is lovely to wear.
