Notes

Nice project to use up different yarns without cutting, carrying or joining, but using the helix/ spiral method.
I worked it as per pattern, just dropping one yarn then starting with the next. There is a good video on YouTube: Helix knitting
This video shows it a slightly different way which may help to keep the tension better: Helix knitting by Brooklyn Tweed
This kind of knitting is called GumGum in German knitting technology smiley

Here is a little something about this kind of knitting ( sorry it’s in German):

gumgum oder nicht gumgum?
bei der Stricktechnik geht es nicht um die Anzahl der verwendeten Wollen von 2 bis unendlich ist alles möglich (ok unendlich wohl ein bisschen viel ;-))

um das Prinzip zu verstehen gibt es ein Video-Tutorial mit zwei Sockenwollen für den Anfang hier entlang

Farbwechsel mit 3 Wollen
