Patron Sign Up Help

If you would like to sign up as a Fruity Knitting Patron but are unsure how to do it, this page might help!

We have some help on upgrading your pledge. This page can also help you if you have increased your pledge but don’t have access to the rewards for that pledge amount.

Facebook – you can use it, but you don’t need to

  • You can sign up as a Fruity Knitting Patron using your e-mail address and a password.
  • You do not need to be on Facebook to become a Fruity Knitting Patron.
  • We have a Facebook Group for the Shetland Patrons. This is a nice way to chat with other Shetlands, but we always announce all events directly on Patreon so you do not have to be a member of the Facebook Group to enjoy the benefits of being a Shetland Patron.

2. Sign Up Using Your E-Mail Address

To sign up using your e-mail address and a password, following these steps:

  1. Enter your full name. E.g. “Joan Smith”
  2. Enter your e-mail address. E.g. “joansmithknits@gmail.com”. (If you have more than one e-mail address, then make a note of which one you are using for your Fruity Knitting Patron account.)
  3. Enter the e-mail address again. (This is just to check that you didn’t make a typing mistake the first time…)
  4. Enter the password that you would like to use with your Fruity Knitting Patron account. (Don’t forget it!)
  5. Click the box to agree to the Terms of Use.

You can sign up using your e-mail address and a password.

  1. Click the box to say “I’m not a robot“! This is a security measure. When you click this box, you may be asked to complete a little puzzle. For example, you may be presented with a set of photos and have to select all the photos which include a boat. Click on each photo which fits the description, then click “Verify” once you’re done. This is another security check to make sure you are a real person and not an automated program making trouble. If you don’t understand the first puzzle you are given, you can ask for a new one by clicking the round arrow symbol.
When you click the box saying "I am not a robot", you may have to complete a small puzzle. If the puzzle doesn't make sense, click the round arrow to get a different one.
