What is “finishing” and how has this craft practice grown recently to form a global community of kindness? To find out, listen to our interview with the inspiring Jen Simonic, co-founder, Loose Ends. Jen co-founded Loose Ends with Masey Kaplan in August 2022 and it has grown rapidly from 150 finishers to 25,000 finishers worldwide. Both avid knitters, Jen and Masey started Loose Ends with unfinished projects from friends whose family members were deceased. As crafters, they both knew of the generosity of their community as well as how many incomplete projects are left behind when a loved one passes away or can no longer make something due to illness. Jen reflects on finishing as a practice born out of loss as well as hope that resonates with us. Each finished project is one more loose end tied whether in a craft project or in helping people see the community already present around them. Image @winkylewis
