Please click here to fill out a simple form to resend the activation email.

Q: I requested a resend of my activation email, but did not receive it.
There are several reasons you might not receive your confirmation email:

  • You entered the wrong email address. If you entered the wrong email address, you will need to sign-up again.
  • You may have Free-Crochet.com blocked in your email preferences. Checking for this varies depending on which company you use for your email.
  • Your Internet Service Provider and/or Email Service Provider may be blocking and/or filtering email from Free-Crochet.com. If you have checked all of the mail controls indicated above, more than likely this is the problem, please contact the company that you use for email and ask them to stop blocking or filtering your email. If you continue to experience issues receiving our emails, you may want to subscribe to a free email service provider (such as Gmail, AOL Mail or Hotmail) to receive emails from us. You will need to update your account on the site, and re-sign up for your daily emails.
