Notes

knit these on two 8mm circular needles, made it much easier.

used judy’s magic cast-on - wow, thanks judy!

made the smallest size but was concerned about them still being too big so felted them, felted them, felted them - oops, too small? note - do not felt with towels, lint sticks everywhere. use two pairs of old jeans instead.

not sure that i would do so many heel decreases next time, perhaps just on two alternate rows.

magenta test square, yarn held double on 8mm needles - 8.5cm wide, 7.5cm long; felted - 8cm x 5.5cm
ruby - 8.5 x 9; felted - 8.5cm x 6.5cm
