Loose Ends linked her up with a nearby finisher,Anna Minmier.In the evenings,
Minmier's fingers danced a waltz she had memorized so perfectly in the 20 years since she
took up knitting as a 9-year-old.Minmier spent months finishing the sweater,and said she
was happy to have a part in what she saw as a beautiful story that united generations.The
project reminded her of her grandmother,who was a knitter as well,until her health
condition made it hard to complete those graceful waltz-like movements."Honestly,it feels
a little selfish,"Minmier said,laughing."I get to do my hobby,and I don't have to pay for
any of the supplies.It is also an opportunity for me to strengthen my skill set and keep my
mind as sharp as my needles(缝衣针).”
With every movement of her needles,the project advanced to completion.Minmier
was looking forward to that moment when Blumberg could hold and hug the memories of
her mother."It's not just being nice,"said Loose Ends co-founder Jennifer Simonic."It's
making sure people have these material objects that they can hug when they're missing a
