help please?

i'm trying to make the candy cane and I'm a bit confused with switching colours. Do I cut the threads of the old colour off each time I switch to a different colour? I've tried leaving both colours attached but then there are diagonal linese when I pick up the old colour again. Any hints?

i've been to about 4

i've been to about 4 different stores and no one sells the magazine, so how do i get the patterns?
