Lace Sock Progress and New Project

Here is my progress on my first toe-up sock from the Knitting Lingerie Style book. It's not perfect - a few errors in the lace do to me forgetting if I'm on the knit row or lace pattern row, but for the most part it's looking good. It's a really easy pattern and I'm enjoying the quick progress. I have about 3 more inches before completing the first sock in the pair. I think that the toe-up sock makes a lot of sense now that I've started to work one. I'm sure the next one will go even faster. Much better than the reverse, I think.

Knitting Lingerie Style - Toe Up Sock Pattern

I have just cast on for the toe-up stocking from Joan McGowan-Michael's new "Knitting Lingerier Style" book. This will be my first toe-up sock). I have a question about the directions: I don't understand what it means for working the second half of the toe:

"Pick up and knit 1 st from first half of toe, knit to end, pick up and knit 1 st from first half of toe."


Can anyone explain?
