Lately I've found myself drawn to knitting endless stockinette. I find it addictive instead of boring. I also love the kind of fabric you get with Wollmeise Lacegarn in plain stockinette stitch. A few segments of different color add enough interest to the plain stitch. Veera Välimäki's Kappa was the perfect pattern for that kind of need.
I made some minor modifications, starting with a slightly larger number of stitches and doing the increases every nine rounds (or so), so that I'd still end up with approximately with the same circumference for the wider end. I also didn't exactly follow the pattern with the color changes. I loved knitting it so much I think I'm going to start a second one immediately, just with three colors instead of four.
