The following is an ongoing list of tutorials and helpful knitting sites around the web.
Bergere de France's #257 Cabled Yoke Pullover
These are my personal notes on how I knit the pullover. Explores construction, sizing, and yarn information.
Knitting an attached i-Cord corner
This technique uses the principle of mitered corners in a roundabout way.
Pre-drafting Colored Fiber

den Arend is a spiral hat pattern knit from the top down, with a cable section that grows gradually to the very end. Make it as short and sweet, or long and slouchy, as you want.
The hat is named for Lucien den Arend, creator of Europa (1986), a 15-meter stainless steel sculpture snaking along Europaweg in Haarlem, the Netherlands. The series was inspired by "land" or "earthworks" artists who used the spiral form in their work.

Smithson is a reversible spiral hat pattern that can be knit from the top down or the bottom up. Your pick!
The hat is named for Robert Smithson, creator of Spiral Jetty (1960), a massive coil of mud, salt crystals and rock snaking out 1,500 feet from Rozel Point into the Great Salt Lake, Utah, USA. The series was inspired by "land" or "earthworks" artists who used the spiral form in their work.
