Yes. I was working on the clue, and did a few rows, then placed a stitch marker on the side where I was doing the increases. From then on, I was able to easily know which side was the one for doing increases.

The 2nd color-does that attach to the triangle in any way? The directions for color 2 seem hard to understand for me

the 2nd color gets worked into the 1st color. you are still working on a square, but you started in the corner instead of on an end.

another way to think of it is that you will be working one triangle from the point to the base, then bringing in the 2nd color and working a triangle from the base to the point. in the end, it'll be a square made of 2 colors.

make sense?

As you work the first color, the triangle will be getting larger. When it is at its widest, you will stop working with the first color, and start using the 2nd color instead. Then, you will begin decreases, which will make the triangle get smaller. When you finish, you will have a square, which you made working diagonally.

Yes thanks guys. I can get a visual of it now.

I just start my firt knit square. But.....at the end of row 5 you have 7 stitchs. Row 6 says rep last 2 rows 26 times which means adding 52 stitchs. That makes 59 not 55. Am I reading something wrong?

They have corrected the instructions. You should repeat the rows 24 times

Ok, this means the last two rows, 24 times each and not just 24 additional rows. right? cause im at row 24 and i count 31 stitches.
