Q. I’m having problems signing in – what am I doing wrong?
There are two places to sign in – sorry that this is confusing it’s just because our subscriptions are handled by a third party so there’s a separate login.

2. Manage your subscription account – the one you created when you signed up to receive boxes – you can manage your account here.

The password for the first two boxes was emailed to subscribers. If you haven’t had yours, please contact crochetsociety@practicalpublishing.co.uk or call 0161 327 0441 – for all other boxes the password will be printed on a card inside the box.

After your first box arrives you will then receive a box every month thereafter.
