Forgive a beginner... when switching colors, you are ending off each color? So starting in row 6, for example, end off white, then yellow, etc.? Am I overthinking this?
No, I do not end off the yarn after each color change. I have a tutorial on the blog demonstrating how I do the color changes that you might find helpful.
Here is the link: http://whiskersandwool.blogspot.com/2010/07/changing-colors-tutorial-some-helpful.html
Or you can look at the sidebar on the left side of the blog under "Free Patterns and Tutorials" and you will find it there.
One more crazy question! Any hints on keeping tack of rows? I made this 4 square twice now - (love it!!) and the second one I needed to work on it when I could so it was hard to keep track of rows. Other than working with the pattern mext to me and stopping to mark it as I go, whats a good way to track work in progress? I know it will come with experience, nut a trick would be sweet!! Thanks again!!
Hi Mary Beth - The only tip I really have is that I often will use a post-it note on the chart and move it up as I complete each row. Nothing earth-shattering, but it may help. :) Doni

Thank you for the pattern! I just finished making the potholder, and it is very pretty and was easy to make.
