I reaad the first book thinking that illustrations would have been useful or, as this was a kindle book, a video link, in helping understanding the sequence.
Then I moved to book two, low and behold, they had the illustrations step by step guidance.
The second book contains patterns for three types of mittens and one for ornamental tree decoration, all of which were created using DPN's.
It would have been useful to have one pattern created on flat needles at the end, just for those who were not able to use DPN's.
On the whole, a very useful guide, plenty of tips for all.
I would recommend reading these books as I found them useful.
This 2-book bundle is handy for a novice knitter; however, the beginner's guide sometimes assumes knowledge (especially in the cast-on section) and definitely would have benefited from more photos. The mitten book should've had at least one photo for each project, instead of one photo for the entire book. This would be good for former knitters in need of a refresher guide in the basics.
