Loose Ends Project | Fiberchats, Episode: 283

The idea for Loose Ends came about when the founders, Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones. They always do so enthusiastically, understanding what it feels like to wear something a loved one has made.
Loose Ends was established in May 2023 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

What a great idea. I love the great work this organzatioin does and all the community helping. It is especially great to know it is an International endeavor. What I mainly gain from this interview is a motivation to finish long lingering projects, like this black crochet shawl, in many pieces, that needs sewing and end weaving. I should do that this summer on a sunny day ...

I was thinking that too, what do I need to finish ASAP

This organization popped up on my IF a while ago and I tear up every time I read their posts. What a wonderful organization. Thx for this interview.

[@Fiberchats]

I’ve heard so much about them from my viewers, I simply had to reach out

[@estherrubin867]

Glad you did. See, THIS is why your channel is so unique, you highlight all these talented people. No one else does this but you!

One of the good thing about this is the person finishing doesn't have the person connection. It took me a year before I could pick up a cross stitch my mil was working on when she died. I'm still finishing projects of my mum's. She died 3 years ago.
