Sometimes it is hard to choose between all of the worthwhile charities and organizations that exist. Other times, you have a connection with one, and that makes the choice easier. I have a friend who donated a kidney to her father a few years ago. As a result, she is very involved with the Gift of Life Donor Program which is a local chapter or the national transplant organization. When I saw that they had a program called ‘Wrapped in Hugs‘ where they give out hand knitted or crocheted wraps to donor families, I knew I wanted to participate.
The wraps need to be 30″x 60″, and I have a record of making pieces either way too large, or way too small, so I decided to start a corner-to-corner wrap. This will make it easy for me to judge exactly how wide it will be. I’m almost to the 30 inch mark, and will be able to start working on the length soon.
The yarn is a variegated worsted-weight acrylic by Caron in the color Peacock. I like the way the blue, purple, and green work together.

An excellent choice of colour and pattern.
This is my second project using C2C. I like how quickly it feels like it works up.
Absolutely Lovely! Someone will love it! Love the color combo!
I had similar single colors in my basket, then I saw the variegated and got that instead.
Those colors look wonderful with the stitch pattern you are working!
This is one of the yarns that is really well named. It does remind me of peacock colors.
The colors really are scrumptious! And it’s such a worthwhile charity, too.
I really like the richness of the colors. It’s been interesting to see how they look with this stitch too.
It’s beautiful and what a great cause.
I’d been wanting to do something for this group for a while and was happy to see they had a yarn-based need. 🙂
