Contact Us

Hi, I'm so glad you scrolled down here. Whether you've got a question about a pattern, spotted a typo in a stitch count, or just want to say hello from your own crafting corner, this is the place. I read every message that comes through — it's still just me and a very small team behind The Crafty Wren, so your note actually lands with a real person, not a ticket queue.

The Fastest Way to Reach Us

Email is genuinely the best way to reach me. Send your message to [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, usually within a few business days. I'm also on Pinterest pinning projects and swapping ideas, but for anything that needs an actual answer, email keeps things from getting lost.

What Kinds of Messages Are Welcome

Honestly, more than you might think. A porch is meant for conversation, so here's what I love hearing about:

• Pattern questions — stuck on a stitch, confused by a chart, or need a size adjusted for a different hook or yarn weight.
• Corrections — if you've found a typo, a miscounted row, or a broken link, please tell me. I test every pattern before it publishes, but I'm human, and I'd rather fix it fast than let anyone else get stuck.
• Content suggestions — if there's a stitch, a plushie, or a technique you wish I'd cover, I keep a running list and genuinely pull from reader ideas often.
• Technical issues — broken downloads, printing problems, or anything on the site that isn't behaving.
• Collaborations and partnerships — yarn brands, fellow makers, and craft businesses are welcome to reach out. I've put together a dedicated Collaboration page with details on how I like to work with brands and creators, so start there if that's you.
• Press and media — if you're writing about crochet, amigurumi, or maker culture and want a quote, interview, or photo, just say so in your subject line.

Tips for a Quicker, Better Reply

A little detail goes a long way. When you write in, it helps enormously if you include:

• The exact name of the pattern or post you're asking about (a link is even better).
• The row, round, or paragraph where you got stuck.
• What yarn weight and hook size you're using, if it's a pattern question — this is often the missing piece.
• A screenshot, if it's a technical glitch on the site.

I try to answer things in the order they arrive, so a clear, specific message tends to get a faster and more useful reply than a quick “this isn't working!” with no context. I promise I'm not precious about it — I just want to actually solve your problem the first time.

Before You Write In

A quick shortcut: many common questions are already answered elsewhere on the site. If you're curious about who's behind the blog and how it all started, that's on the About Us page. If you're wondering how I choose what to write about, test patterns, or handle sponsored content, that's covered in the Editorial Policy. And if your question is about how comments, shares, or community behavior work here, take a peek at the Community Guidelines first — it might save us both a step.

A Small Safety Note

Crochet is one of the gentlest crafts out there, but a few things are worth mentioning, especially with amigurumi. If you're making toys for babies or young children, please use safety eyes rated for children's items, sew all pieces securely, and avoid small, detachable parts like beads or buttons that could become a choking hazard. Always let stuffing and finished pieces cool completely before handling if you've used any heat-set techniques, and keep small tools like hooks, stitch markers, and scissors well out of little hands. None of my patterns are a substitute for your own judgment about what's appropriate for the person you're making it for — when in doubt, size up, stitch tighter, and stuff firmly.

The Boring-but-Important Bits

Whatever brings you here — a question, a correction, a collaboration idea, or just a friendly hello — thank you for taking the time to write in. This little corner of the internet only feels like a porch because people like you keep showing up to sit on it. I can't wait to hear from you.
