Today Melissa of The Wool & The Floss, chats with Jennifer Simonic, co-founder of the Loose Ends Project. The idea for Loose Ends came about when Jennifer and co-founder 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 welcomes textile handwork crafters of all sorts, from anywhere in the world. Loose Ends was established in May 2023 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. More information: https://looseends.org.
