FRIENDS WITH A PROJECT!

Have you ever been asked by someone to finish making a project that their grandmother or mother or cousin was not able to finish due to prolonged illness or death? Maybe you felt that you didn't have the correct skills to finish that project. Maybe the project was for you, and your loved one died before they could finish it. Now what? You don't knit/crochet/quilt and you don't know where to turn. You need someone who has the skills to finish this project so you will have it to remember your loved one by. You need "Loose Ends." Loose Ends founders, Jenn and Masey connect volunteer finishers with projects that need finishing through their Loose Ends Project found here.

The idea is so simple and Jenn and Masey have made it very easy to get help. On their website are two black buttons to click: Become A Finisher and Submit A Project. Once you have clicked on one of these buttons you will be directed to a page of explanations and then to a form to fill out.  Perhaps you don't have an unfinished project, but you would like to help, that is where the "Become a Finisher" button works for you.

We met Jenn last night at the Seattle Knitters Guild Holiday Meeting and she is a delight. She is eager to help those with unfinished projects and she sees it as a way to help grieving family or friends to have one last gift from their loved one. 

Sometimes things are left unfinished. We keep your loved ones close by completing the projects they’ve left behind.

Jenn is in Seattle Washington and Masey is in Portland, Maine, so they have both coasts covered for volunteers and projects. This is such a needed project. We hope you take a look at their website and sign up to help or have a project finished.

They also can be found on Ravelry here.
