Veera Välimäki
Veera Välimäki lives and designs in a small village in Southern Finland. Her designs focus on simple and clean lines with small fresh details. She loves
simple yet modern knits that are both easy to knit and easy to wear – year after year.
Shawls and sweaters are Veera’s two favorite things to knit. Veera is truly a master of casting on for new sweaters and she adores garter stitch and all kinds of short rows. Her 3rd book ”Stripes“ was published in 2021 by Laine Publishing. “Interpretations“ book series together with Joji Locatelli reached the 8th volume (Pom Pom Press) and two more volumes online. Majority of Veera’s work is self-published.
Veera’s work has also been featured in magazines and books in Finland, Europe and in the US. Veera has also been teaching in many different events and knitting festivals – mainly abroad in the UK, US and Central-Europe.
