I din't know that there were erasable highlighters. What a good idea. I sometimes use frixion pens which can be heat erased.

I use an eraseable highlighter too, for the larger projects, especially if there are many color changes.I really like the idea of a post-it note - thanks everyone :)

I use highlighters to highlight all of one symbol, so that I don't miss some. Then I mark the blocks I've stitched with a pencil. I make a blown up copy of the pattern so I can see it better.
