What do you mean they're not triangles?

They will be a triangle eventually. These are the 1st two squares of Hawthorne Cottage's Triangle cushion cover from Australian Yarn Art. True to form for this particular book, the photography is awful and the pattern is full of errors. Luckily the part of the pattern with the worst errors is the bit shown in the photo. Although I haven't started the next square yet so there may be more that you can't see.

I've made a lot of projects from Yarn Art (7 at last count) and almost without exception there have been typing errors, missing charts (in the case of the teddy bear, no sewing pattern), or the photos have been "artistically" cropped in such a way that you can't see what the item is supposed to look like. The only reason I knew I wanted to make several of the projects (the Hawthorne Cottage cushions included), is because I saw them in person when I bought the book at the Aussie Sheep and Wool show.

It's a real shame because there are some great patterns in the book if you can decipher the errors or find the designers to ask for corrections. But even then, not many people are going to know they want to make some of the projects because you just can't see them.
