The line in between is probably just for showing the half stitch. Just take one color and bring it thru the upper left corner hole and bring down in the middle of the X. You are probably using Aida Cloth so it might be a bit hard. Then take the next color. Go thru the bottom right hole and go into the spot you came down into with the other color. If this does not make sense to you then try the link below. Its hard to descripe in writing. I am a vivid cross stitcher.

Then when you are working on the pattern you can color in the squares you've already done with a highlighter . That way you won't loose your place. Makes a big difference when you do a big pattern trust me. Good Luck :0) Another point I would like to tell you to make your cross-stitching experience more fun is: when you find a pattern you like photo copy it.
