I've used helical knitting for mittens and socks. If you don't have even amounts of yarn, use the smaller amount only in the body. When doing it, I happened to find moving the yarn balls the only way to keep from having a mess. I also do that when knitting 2-at-a-time socks. Nice tutorial, Joe, and thanks for the tip on 2 or 3 row stripes.
Thank you for such clear instructions. Started my first helix sock and it’s going well.
Great tutorial. I would love it if you showed how to bind off (I.e. a hat), when knitting this method.
Thanks for the tip on doing wider stripes as well. This is the first time I’ve seen that.
Wow...mind blown. Thanks, Joe!!! I look forward to trying this out for some socks!

If you put the ball of thread in a sieve in front of you and let the thread run through a hole, you only have to turn the work at the end of the row.
If you only lift off 3 stitches before the color change as if to purl, the transition will be cleaner.
I don't know if I'm seeing this wrong but it seems like you at a few times needed in the back of the loop.

Not sure how you knit, or what you were seeing (sorry for the crappy video-ing), but this technique doesn't use any knitting to the back of the loop.
