Knitting and other Creative Endeavors

I think I need some clarification on picking up the gusset stitches. However, in typing out all my questions, I think I worked most of them out. [Edit: and then I got even MORE confused]

Maybe I'm confused because of what I've got on which needle--currently I have the instep (non-heel flap/heel turn) sts on one needle (they were previously on two, but it hung neater out of the way one one, so I moved them. I think maybe I should split them back up, and all the heel sts should be on one needle instead.

Once I pick up the gusset stitches, I shouldn't be immeidately working in the pattern, though (according to the pictures, it should be stockinette). So if I'm picking up 8 sts, how is my yarn getting to the instep stitches? The instructions don't seem to say, and I'm on my second or third interpretation of them.

Now I'm looking back and it says that the beg of round is at the center back of foot. But my yarn's on the side of the heel turn, at the end of completed row 4 just like they said.

I can't work on this much more this weekend, but if I could get the right stitches on the right needles, that will help me very much. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me.
