Hiya Hiya sample Fish Lips Kiss cast on

Giving my hiya hiyas a test knit, doing a sample heel of the fish lips kiss heel :)
Just doing mini cuff, heel and tiny body, casting off so I can try it on and check the fit (so no toes to do).
Cast on with 3.25mm tips and 24" cable and moved on to 2.75mm tips and changed cable to 32" length.
I could do the magic loop with 24" but the 32" is a little easier.
Testing with a yarn that is classed as DK but is a very thin one. When I use 4mm it's a loose gauge (22 sts per 4 inch), haven;'t tested this gauge yet. It's definitely tighter but still has gaps you can see through when you stretch the fabric.
Will post a photo when the test heel is completed.
