"I wanna go fast"

Sport weight socks go fast....even faster if you don't restart them!  Here's the progress on my tea time socks:

Over the weekend, I started working on these while traveling through O'Hare airport.  I started on 3.00mm (US 2 1/2) with 52 stitches but by the time that I made it to the heel, it was too large.  I had been telling myself that they'd be fine, but they were too large.  It would have been okay if they were going to be lounging around socks, but this wasn't my intention.  Restarted with 48 stitches on the same size needles.  I forgot how quickly they go when compared to socks on US 1.
