Pinterest Disclaimer

Pin & Pine shares crochet, amigurumi, and DIY inspiration across several platforms, including Pinterest. This page explains how our pins work, why the images you see there may look slightly different from what appears on our site, and who to contact if you have a question or concern about a visual. It exists alongside our general Disclaimer to give Pinterest-specific context.

Pins Are Inspiration, Not a Full Copy of Our Content

Every pin we create — whether it shows a finished amigurumi elephant, a stack of crochet flower squares, or a cozy rustic shelf — is meant to spark an idea and invite you back to the full blog post. A pin image is a summary: a preview of colors, textures, and finished results. It is never a substitute for reading the actual pattern, instructions, or notes published on the page it links to. Stitch counts, yarn weights, hook sizes, and step-by-step guidance always live on the website itself, not in the pin graphic.

Because pins are compressed previews, some details visible in a photo — like exact yarn shade or the precise size of a finished piece — can be hard to judge from the pin alone. We encourage you to click through and read the full post before starting any project, since that is where the accurate, tested information sits.

Appearance Can Vary by Screen and App

Pinterest displays images differently depending on the device, app version, screen size, and even the user's saved display settings. A pin that looks crisp and bright on a desktop browser might appear cropped, darker, or slightly different in color on a phone app, and vice versa. This is a normal part of how Pinterest renders and resizes images across its platform, and it is outside of our control once a pin has been published.

If a color, texture, or finished look seems different between the pin and the actual blog post, trust the photos and text on the website itself — that is the version we maintain and update directly.

Pinterest Controls Its Own Platform Behavior

Pinterest, not Pin & Pine, is responsible for how pins are ranked, recommended, saved, and shown to other users, including features like related pins, search suggestions, or auto-generated boards. We do not control:

• Which of our pins Pinterest chooses to promote or suppress
• How often a pin appears in someone's feed or search results
• Third-party accounts that may re-pin, re-save, or repost our images without permission
• Comments or messages left on pins through the Pinterest platform itself

If you have a concern specifically about how Pinterest's algorithm or app behaves, that falls under Pinterest's own policies and support channels, not ours.

Photo Sourcing and Rights

We take image sourcing seriously, and details about where our photos come from — including original project photography and any credited outside sources — are outlined on our Image Credits page. If you believe a pin uses an image without proper permission, or you recognize a photo that needs a correction or credit, please let us know so we can look into it promptly.

We also ask that anyone saving, sharing, or re-pinning our content follow the spirit outlined in our Community Guidelines, which cover respectful sharing and proper attribution when reposting craft ideas.

If You Have a Concern About a Pin

If something about a pin seems off — a broken link, a mismatched image, an outdated preview, or a rights question — we want to hear about it. The fastest way to reach us is through our Contact page, or by emailing [email protected] directly. Please include the pin's link or a screenshot if possible, along with a short description of the issue, so we can look into it and respond as quickly as we can.

How This Fits With Our Other Policies

This Pinterest notice works alongside the rest of our site policies. For a broader look at how we handle accuracy and content limitations, see our main Disclaimer. If you are curious about how we choose sources, verify craft instructions, and credit contributors before publishing, our Editorial Policy explains that process in more detail. And if you would simply like to know more about who is behind Pin & Pine, our About Us page shares that story.

We update our pin galleries regularly as new patterns and DIY projects go live, and we appreciate everyone who saves, shares, and pins our work to their own boards. If anything here raises a question we have not covered, please do not hesitate to reach out — we are always glad to clarify.
