I gave them the url address to the pertinent pages and gave them the specific post numbers to look at. As this is a public forum I saw no harm in that. If you are providing personally identifying information on here or the web in general I highly recommend you to stop immediately.

Now I can proudly say I am the owner of "Crackanory" seasons 1-3. If you'd like to join me you can get it for free here, but I don't know how long it will last. It is possible they mis-set the geo-restriction so if you're interested don't wait too long.



Enjoy!

YW. You can download individual episodes, individual seasons (well, sorta), and 1-3. Thanks for the UK links; I intended to do that but forgot in my eagerness to post.

A lot of people use their real names and locations on forums, sort of a good way to build community.

Knitting: Amazing Patterns that Everyone Can Knit (How to Knit, Knitting Beginners, Crochet, Knit, Patterns, Beginners, Advance, Knitting Crocheting), by Kathy Wilston. And, right now, it's at your favorite price--FREE!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NW3HWFS/.

Think of all that you could do, once you'd read this book!
- Knit/crochet a whole tubemonkey family--wife and kids!
- Repair holes in your exterior!
- Knit/crochet more tubemonkeys! Why there might end up being so many that they take over the world!
- Knit/crochet parts of your body that have come unraveled!

Help me out, fellow MobileReaders, what are some other possibilities???

I just looked through this book. All the patterns are something that can be found on yarn. Then after questioning how professional the images were I searched for a couple of them using Google Image search. Well the author has stolen the images from various websites.

If you give out any personal information online then you accept the risk of somebody using said information in nefarious ways. Personally I will never disclose my real name or location publicly online. There is way too much risk in doing so.

However this is the second major scuffle I have had with an Amazon company in three months. I am at my wit's end with them at this point. I do not like having my time wasted like this.

The My Name is Markham short is NOT free on Audible anymore.

Actually, still showing same zero credits for purchase. At this point, though, it is pretty much guaranteed not to work and require contact with support to get the purchase amount refunded.

Thank you for the tip, but i use iTunes for my audiobooks and would prefer not having a mix of multiple email accounts to swap between, in order to listen to my books. iTunes' Audible support is quite weird at times, so I would imagine I would get quite annoyed in the end.

But I picked it up thinking it would have some crochet patterns in it. It does not. That title is a searchword vomit, not an actual list of contents.

Please understand that I didn't do my usual vetting before posting that. I just noticed that it was a book about knitting, and thought that posting it would be a good way to poke fun at tubemonkey.

Now that I know that there is the interest, though, I can keep my eyes open for quality (and, of course, cheap) ebooks on the subjects of knitting and crocheting. This one looked to be very good, and it was marked down to $1.99, I think that it was, as recently as a week ago. But, I decided that no one would be interested in it, and didn't post it.

If you use Audible's download manager once you validate your credentials for the aax file you will be able to play the audiobook. You will not need to enter your credentials again even if you have audiobooks from different accounts as long as each file is validated with it's corresponding credentials. I play files from my sisters, niece and nephew this way as well as my three Audible accounts.

I have both a UK and a US Audible account that I sign in with my Amazon account which is the same email on both sites. I've not had any trouble so far. I do have my address registered as the UK though.

I am always looking for cheap arts and crafts books for my niece. Any books you find would be appreciated.
