A VVCAL Look-Back: Vibrant Vintage CAL Through the Years

Hello, lovely crafter! With the 2016 VVCAL Reboot kicking off on May 19th, I thought it would be nice to take a look at the previous VVCALs through the years, and see the wide variety of blankets that can be made from the patterns. I start with an introduction to the CAL so if you’re new to it, you can get a good sense of what it’s all about. I hope you enjoy this long and photo-driven post!

2016 VVCAL Reboot: Main Information Page

Introduction Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today I am shouting out the announcement for the reboot of my 2016 VVCAL! You may have heard of my 2018 VVCAL, 2020 VVCAL, and 2022 VVCAL. Well, those are my latest VVCAL blanket projects, and as you may know, I design and host the VVCAL every 2 years since 2016. But on the odd-numbered years, I have been missing the VVCAL so much! I decided to start hosting a reboot throwback on the odd-numbered years. So the first reboot will be the 2016 VVCAL! This will not be a full length VVCAL, rather an abbreviated 10-week version and I will update the patterns as well if needed. Here is what the schedule will look like over the next few years: PDF Version Updated reboot PDF coming soon! You can find the current 2016 VVCAL PDF on Etsy. Quick Links to Each Week Theme The theme for the 2016 VVCAL is Names of important people in my life (This is so personal because it was before I knew the VVCAL would …
